Our stay was amazing! It was a secluded location that was still close to lots of restaurants and places to shop and have fun. The host was super welcoming and was a greag communicator. The place was clean, had lots of towels, and the hot tub was well taken care for. Would stay again.

Thank you!!!

It was a great little house throught the gate. I loved being able to park back there. The pillows on the bed were so comfortable. It was a very important time for me and my boyfriend to have that time alpne together and we both loved it. Thank you to the hosts you're great ....Will definitely book again and for longer.

Single night stay

Loved just about everything about this romantic tiny home. The only complaint we had was the hot tub, though I already had low expectations for it since it is an inflatable one. We did decide not to get in because it didn’t look as though it had been cleaned (leaves and dirt were gathered at the bottom). Other than that, we loved our stay! The aesthetic of the home was so cute. The bed was super comfy. The inside of the house was clean. We only stayed one night, so we didn’t have a chance to use the kitchen. The shower water pressure was nice. We liked that you could drive into the gate and close them behind you, giving a bit more privacy.

A Whole Vibe

This space is exactly as advertised. I booked for one night and wish I would have done two! It is secluded enough for you to enjoy privacy, but also close enough to stores if you forgot to bring something essential (like I did). The kitchen is stocked with basic cooking supplies and has retro appliances that work perfectly. The hot tub is a great touch for added relaxation. The bed is beyond comfortable… memory foam! Honestly, nothing I write here will do this space justice. You may think the price is high for a small space (saw that in some comments before my stay), but I thought my rate was fair and accurate for how the owners have curated it. When my stay was over (sad), it was nice to be so close to a must go place in Alton (Fast Eddie’s). I will be booking again in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Kacy Williams

Host profile image
Hi! Kacy and JJ here! We have been hosts for 3 years now and really love it. We just recently posted our home here and look forward to seeing what adventures it brings! We love being hosts and creating special and memorable stays for our guests. ♥️

Why they chose this property

We are obsessed with Alton! So much so, in fact, that we just moved our family here too! We think it is such a charming and underrated part of the world. There is so much to do and we love the river view!

What makes this property unique

This beautiful historic property was built in 1910. They don’t make homes like this anymore. We are blown away by historic architecture and feel honored to own and restore one ourselves.
