What an amazing stay —. The updates mixed in with keeping the original components of the space was memorable as well as comfortable. Looking out the front windows gave us unforgettable views and was so easy to visit the stores and come back to take a break. Easily walkable and the area itself is where I feel the love of the area and passion of their heritage . Bravo vrbo owners and thank you for letting us experience the area with so many amenities and views. Great cozy beds too!

We really liked the incredible views, hardwood floors, gorgeous light fixtures, cleanliness, space and location. The beds were so amazingly comfortable! Overall, such a great place to stay in town for the festivities! One does need to be prepared to carry up all their luggage up a long stairway. Some things to improve upon are: parking (it would be ideal to have a designated parking space in front), hooks on the wall in the bathroom, a light fixture over the dining room table, luggage racks for the bedrooms, and a better equipped kitchen. For example: more than 1 hot pad for the oven, mixing and serving bowls, napkins, and tongs.

A beautiful combination of honoring the charm of a historic district with all the needed modern touches. Great location over looking the Main Street of town with cute shops in walking distance. Lots of space, quiet and comfortable.

Lovely location and big space to hang out. We had a great time! The middle bedroom is connected to the laundry room, so FYI it's quite different from the others. We were disappointed in the lack of a tea kettle and cooking knives, but we made it work.

It was a really great space for what we needed. Clean and easily accessible to shops and other retail. Lived that we were able to walk wherever we needed to go and explore the downtown. The stairs made it a little difficult for easy in and out with all of our luggage but we managed just fine. There wasn’t a screen on the main living room windows out to a front patio which could be an issue for groups with smaller children - just don’t leave the window open unattended. All in all we had a wonderful stay and communication with the host was quite easy. Thank you

Very nice place. Middle bedroom was not comfortable. Bed rolls in. Water filter needed to be changed on the fridge. Great place for a family, or girls trip. Nice area to hang out and play games and eat. Wonderful location. Cute little town

What a neat place to stay in downtown Mineral Point. We loved the front street view and enjoyed a drink on the back porch. Will definitely stay here next time we are in MP.
