Great home

This was our second stay in this charming historic home in less than two years, and it was just as wonderful as the first! The house is impressively well maintained given its age, and the host is incredibly friendly and responsive. It’s in a fantastic location for exploring the area—ideal for history lovers and anyone who appreciates classic architecture.

Beautiful home in St. Joseph

Our family really enjoyed the stay! The house is extremely well kept, the bathrooms are clean, the kitchen was excellent, and the beds were comfortable. Host is very easy to communicate with. The house is very secure and there is a good alarm system--not their fault, but house is not situated in the best part of town.

It is situated in historical downtown area of Museum Hill. This area of town is full of beautiful old homes, and some amazing architecture. City hall, Police, and fire headquarters are only 1/2 mile away. Very safe area.
