House itself was great, location was fun with it being close to downtown. The roads are really narrow and there isn't much space for parking. (We had two vehicles) Also the bed upstairs is very loud, just moving around in the bed caused it to squeak, making it really hard to have two people in bed, without disrupting the other.

Amazingly clean and attractively furnished. Great kitchen and bathrooms. I’m taking one star away for the two weird and possibly unsafe staircases and the slightly less-than-prime neighborhood.There is no railing on the set that goes from the first floor to the English basement, and so this old lady never even saw the two bedrooms down there. We were delighted to bring our dog along, but he too was afraid to go downstairs. The railing on the steps leading from the first to the second floor is cobbled together. It seems sturdy but it doesn’t inspire trust.

Our stay at the red house was beyond our expectations! The home was extremely clean, organized, and full of amenities to make our stay so very enjoyable. We walked to town by way of the park and train crossover, which was a short distance away.

The Red House was perfect for a family “girl’s” antiquing trip to Staunton. There were 8 of us and we had plenty of room. The house was clean, comfortable, tastefully decorated and located close to downtown. The only suggestion we have is to put a mirror in the downstairs bathroom…ladies need mirrors when getting ready

Very nice house. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The house probably is .5 mile from the town. However, it is a rough go to walk. There are hills and 40 steps across a railroad track to get there. No problem if you are in good shape. In addition, the description should include the fact that the steps are very steep and narrow to the basement (no railing, only a wall to hold on to). There is no bathroom in the basement which could be a problem for some. Also, there is no AC in the basement and venture to guess no heat. It is stuffy in the basement. All of that said, it was a great place, we had a wonderful time and would rent it again. Just concerned it might not be for everyone and they should know that in advance.

Kitchen was great. Bathroom shower was even better. Location was good and house was clean. Two bedrooms down steep stairs and two bedrooms up steep stairs. I am 78 so I slept on the couch. (Which does fold out to a bed). Couldn’t find a thermostat and it was a little chilly on main floor. Those upstairs said it was warm and comfortable. Those who were downstairs enjoyed the cool sleeping conditions. Oh yeh, the thermostat was upstairs. It was a well cared for house.

We wanted a place within walking distance of town and this fit perfectly. Six of us were comfortable and enjoyed our stay. The place was very clean and prepared for us on arrival. I'll probably book the same next year

Great Place!

This house is great! It’s clean and newly remodeled. It actually can sleep more than 8 since there are 4 bedrooms and a sleeper sofa. The Sears bridge makes it easy to get to downtown where one can enjoy all of the terrific restaurants and other downtown establishments! Definitely would stay here again.

Great Place to Stay

Lovely old house, nicely renovated and very convenient walk to town. We'd never been to Staunton before and really enjoyed the Shakespeare theater, the restaurants, and nearby hikes. Our 2 1/2 year old granddaughter appreciated the children's books and toys used as decorations in some of the bedrooms. The house was spotless.

This is a nice older home that has been updated but has some quirks such as uneven floors and doors that don't quite close.
