Wonderful place to stay, would definitely go again. The price was reasonable, the owners did a great job restoring this carriage house and hosts were very attentive/responsive. If you're looking for a great place in the Quad Cities, this could be the place for you.

The carriage House was adorable with all of the antique furniture and wonderable beds. We felt safe and comfortable during our stay! Our host was very accommodating and we had lots of fun learning our way around the Quad cities and visiting different stores and restaurants. We took an evening cruise on the Celebration Belle! We highly recommend this charming Carriage House! It’s close to many attractions, too!

Lovely carriage house! Great location. Wonderful host.

Two members of our team stayed in the carriage house while working on a museum project at Rock Island Arsenal. Chris was a wonderful host and the cottage is lovely.

second stay

This was my second 10 day stay at the Carriage House. Just as great at my first stay. This is a great property: convenient central Davenport location, spotless, well maintained with a very responsive host. This will always be my go-to spot when I visit family and friends in Iowa.

Excellent!

The carriage house was perfect for our family stay in the QCA. It was very clean, and we had everything we needed in the house. It was so nice to have a place for our 6-year-olds to just play and relax after we were out and about all day. This is a very charming place with lots of local history showcased in the books in the house and nearby attractions.

Home away from home..

We loved our stay at the carriage house! Chris was a very attentive and flexible host. We are going to stay here anytime we are visiting Davenport. The house was very clean and the beds were so comfortable. The cost is very reasonable and the privacy was perfect for us! We definitely recommend this charming house!

Another great stay!

This is my second time staying at the Carriage House and it was as nice as last time. The location is perfect for getting around the Quad Cities. This is our new “home away from home” when we come visit family and friends. Also, check out Main Street Coffee…it is an easy walk or drive and has great coffee/drinks.

A Terrific Place

I have family in-town and have stayed at other VRBOs and hotels in the area, this is by far now my favorite! The attention to details-comfy beds, great shower, beautiful decor-and cleanliness were great. The space even provided the opportunity for a few family members to come over one night for dinner. I will definitely stay here again when I visit the Quad Cities. Location is good for anyone visiting St. Ambrose.

Beautiful historic property

This is a beautifully redone carriage house that is really fun to stay in. The neighborhood can be a little sketchy at night, but is fine during the day. I highly recommend it!

Cozy Stay in Davenport.

I stayed in the carriage house for my business trip to Davenport. It was comfortable for me, and very nice and quiet. The host is thoughtful and the communication was very easy. Plenty of coffee and tea options in the house. Air conditioning worked well, and the bed was comfortable. I'd stay again!

Joining the chorus

Let me join the chorus of five star reviews for this recently opened Vrbo. I stayed for ten nights, and would absolutely stay here again. In addition to all the amenities of a quality Vrbo(including very responsive hosts who live nearby), the location can’t be beat. The furnishings are very comfortable and include some lovely antiques.

Wonderful get-away

This is such a nice property! VERY clean and so well appointed. Everything was available that a guest could possibly need. The owner lives close to the property and was attentive-moreso than we've experienced previously with VRBO stays. I am already looking forward to a return trip. Also, it's close to a lovely city park and numerous coffee shops. Everything this traveller needed!

Our stay'

There were no utensils to use for cooking. I went and bought a couple to use. I did leave one of them. There was limited pans to use. We did enjoy the location. We were able to walk to Vanderveer Park which is very beautiful.

Visiting Family

We absolutely loved the property!!! We started in carriage house & moved to main house. Carriage House is beautiful & comfortable. The main house is stunning!!! We really enjoyed the house, the neighborhood & central location to everything Davenport. Chris is a great host. He ensured we had everything we needed & checked on us throughout stay to ensure we were still happy. Highly recommend the Adler House for staying in Davenport. My fiancé is a Davenport native Bryan Loose, and was very impressed with the home & location. We will definitely stay again.

We stayed at the Carriage House over the Thanksgiving holiday. The location is very convenient to access, and has great walking areas around Vander Veer Park and the "Outing Club" area. The accommodations are comfortable and well-appointed, with period furnishings, comfortable beds, and plenty of space. There is a good selection of cookware in the kitchen and an electric stove/oven, microwave, and coffee machines. One drawback is the refrigerator, it is like a dormitory fridge and limits the amount of food you can store at one time. We found several coffee shops in the area, and visited a real gem: The Lagomarcino Chocolate shop in Davenport. This shop is a 3rd generation business and really knows chocolate. The Riverfront Trail is a great walking trail, and provides great views of downtown and the Mississippi River. There is also plenty of shopping and other activities in Davenport. The host is very responsive to questions and requests, and worked to make our stay enjoyable.

Great location, clean, quiet, and attractive.

We were very happy with this well-appointed carriage house. Our host was friendly, thoughtful and informative and made us feel very welcome. This property is only a block away from the unique Vandevere Park, with it's tropical conservatory and beautiful rose garden, and we felt safe and comfortable walking in this interesting historic homes area. We parked in the driveway, and the house's great location made exporing other parts of the city easy. We brought bikes along and it was only 4 blocks to a major bike trail. Trails along the Mississippi are also nearby. The carriage house was spotlessly clean with a fun equestrian decor and lots of considerate touches. Beds were comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet at night. The kitchen had everything we needed. Be aware that there is a flight of steps up to the secnd story front door of the carriage house. We will definitely stay here next time we come to Davenport.
