We really enjoyed our stay. It was a cute home with what needed while we were in town for a youth mountain bike race at Muscatatuck Park. Would definitely stay again.
We were in the area for a weekend event nearby. Our host had great communication and nearby if we needed anything. This house and town have some history, check it out. We will be coming back again.
We had a fantastic stay at this beautifully restored historic home in Vernon. It’s full of character but also has all the modern comforts—comfy beds, a well-equipped kitchen, and plenty of space to relax. The downstairs bedroom with its own sitting area and half-bath was a great bonus.We especially loved the private courtyard with the firepit—perfect for quiet evenings—and the location couldn’t be better. Everything in town was within walking distance: restaurants, the river, and a peaceful park. The greenspace right across the street was perfect for reading and relaxing.This home is warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully maintained. Highly recommend for a relaxing small-town getaway!
The house was exactly what I needed for a quiet get away. Super clean and spacious. The outside garden space with fire-pit was great to relax in and sip my morning coffee. The host went above and beyond on response time whenever I had a question. If you're looking for a quiet place to stay in a quaint historic town, this is the house you want. This will be my rental for all my upcoming visits to Vernon.
The Charming Historic Retreat Home was the best choice we could've made for making our daughters wedding day into a mini-vacation for us and to be able to be very, very near-by for preparations and the ceremony. The house was perfect for our needs and was very well kept. Vernon is a lovely town with historic character. In addition to being only a few miles from the wedding venue, the proximity with both Seymour and Madison was perfect. The hosts were willing to meet our needs in whatever we were needing to accomplish. We would love to visit and stay here again, and it's a bonus that both of our daughters live nearby.
I (Anna) am originally from near Athens, Georgia and my husband Jeff is from near Lexington, KY. We enjoy being active - running, hiking, kayaking, etc - exploring new places and countries, and being involved in our community. I (Anna) am a local church pastor and Jeff works on public health initiatives. We love welcoming people into a community that we love and has many wonderful qualities to enjoy and places to explore!
Why they chose this property
Vernon is an amazing historic community. We love history, old homes, and the small-town neighborliness. Vernon offers incredible access to the great outdoors, having a put-in area on the Muscatatuck River and just a half-mile away from the county park with almost 10 miles of hiking trails and a splashpad & playground. Arts, history & culture shape our little town, which hosts the local Jennings County history museum, and an arts & yoga studio. We have two restaurants in walking distance - Los Alamos Mexican restaurant (excellent food & margaritas!) and Linda's Log Cabin (homestyle cooking).
What makes this property unique
We blend history with modern amenities in our updated 1840s home. It is cozy, but not too small, and has excellent access to outdoor adventures. We also like to welcome guests with small, homey touches to say "We are glad you are here!" Finally, we enjoy getting to know people and make new friends, so we are always open to saying "Hello!" in person at any point during your stay. We are also fairly connected with local events and businesses in our community, so we are happy to share suggestions or point you in the right direction if you are looking for something specific.
