Great place

Clean and quiet, even though the police station is literally 1 street over. The antique furniture is beautiful, bed is comfortable, and amenities are great. Place was very clean upon arrival and Teresa responded quickly. Definitely will use again, if available, in the future.

Robidoux getaway

The area is full of large stately homes from the heyday of St Joe. It was pretty quiet at night but close to some nice restaurants and shops. Really easy to get anywhere within St Joe. We enjoyed a walk along the boulevard system - a 5 min drive and dinner at the Frederick Inn (3 minutes). We were here to visit family.

Lovely Victorian home

Loved the original wood floors and woodwork. It has 3 stories plus basement. It is a mix of apartments and vrbo units. Window air conditioners. Not enough hot water when showering. Otherwise it was a pleasant stay.

Great couples get away

We loved this apartment. We loved the old home, the neighborhood (near downtown among other older homes that have been refurbished. The apartment was well furnished. We loved the decor and used the well stocked kitchen extensively. The bed was comfy. Most of the refurnishing is done nicely, but there were a few things that still reflected the age of the building, but for the most part they just added to the charm. For the price we were more than pleased. We highly recommend it for any individual or couple coming to St. Joseph.

Nice place , quiet neighborhood

I really enjoyed my stay here. The size of the living space felt rather large. I mostly stayed in the bedroom. There was a minor hiccup with the key not being in the designated lockbox but Terri was very responsive and helpful to get me access to the unit. I really appreciated how kind Terri was and how great the place was overall. I really enjoyed being able to do laundry here as well as I was in the midst of a two week long trip on the road and midway through a series of races I was running across the Great Plains. It was also nice to be able to be within walking distance of several local and chain restaurants. Thank you Terri for your hospitality!

Think before you stay

Very clean. Bedroom is located near the back door entrance to the home which has an outside light that illuminates the bedroom-very hard to sleep. Had to purchase a sleeping mask my 2nd night. Furniture very outdated-the living room is super uncomfortable. 1-2 miles from the property are numerous homeless individuals.

Beautiful Historic Home

Beautiful space. Not very comfortable. TV is in the bedrooms so you have to sit in bed to watch TV or sit in a antique chair. We watch TV at night after a day with family only a few stations. Was suppose to have someone come check on TV if they did it still didn't work. We didn't cook in the space just used the microwave and refrigerator. e chair.

I had a terrible time entering this property. The first night I couldn’t open the lockbox and had to get a room at a local hotel. After spending a considerable amount of time on the phone with Expedia I was finally able to open the lockbox the next day. The place is charming. But walls were damaged and I was never able to get the TV to work. It was however very clean. And it was freezing! The heater was never able to keep up with the chilly weather outside. I called this place the Escape Room.

Host overbooked the rooms. Wanted me to do the room swap. Ended up not needing to. Bathroom is small. Didn’t see washer and dryer. You will hear and be heard by everyone in the building. House is beautiful. Bed is comfy.

I’m surprised to hear you couldn’t find the washer and dryer. It was out the back door of this unit and down the cute stairs 1 floor down. It’s not in the unit. It is in the building though
