Historic Oldenburg Drees Haus

Drees Haus is a charming home on the historic district walking tour of Oldenburg, a German-Catholic village in southeastern Indiana. Located on a quiet street with ample street parking, this brick cottage home, built in 1870, is an example of the town's late 19th century architectural style. Easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, grocery store, and the Catholic church.
On the ground floor the living room, kitchen, and bedroom have high ceilings, comfortable furniture, and shuttered windows for privacy. The kitchen is well stocked with a coffeemaker, tea, coffee, condiments, and staples. Enjoy the view of the garden from the kitchen, or take your coffee out to the covered patio, enhanced by the lighting and ceiling fans. A smart TV in the living room, Bluetooth, fiber-optic internet, and WiFi keep you connected. (Note: While Oldenburg generally has excellent cell coverage, ATT and T-Mobile phones are not supported.) The queen bed has, we're told, the most comfortable mattress ever. The full bathroom features a walk-in shower.
Climbing the stairs to the second floor will reward you with a cozy sitting room with games and puzzles, and a bedroom with full bed. The space is heated and cooled with a mini-split There's also a freestanding electric fireplace to add to the ambiance in the winter.
Relax outside on the covered patio, equipped with ceiling fans and lighting. Enjoy playing with your kids at the adjacent town park, or walk one or two blocks to restaurants, pubs, grocery, historic Sisters of St Francis convent, Holy Family church, antiques and walking trails.
Guests have access to the entire house with the exception of the unfinished basement. This includes two bedrooms, a full bath with walk-in shower, kitchen, living room and sitting room. A small porch off the kitchen overlooks the garden and the neighboring park.
Because VRBO does not have a maximum stay limit, and doesn't automatically charge tax for stays longer than 28 days, we no longer offer a length-of-stay discount for instant book. Please message us for details on weekly and monthly discounts.
Note that the house is not handicap accessible. There is an exterior stairway off the kitchen and two steps on the front stoop.
