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

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.

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.

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.

Red house review

This was a great little place for the weekend. It is close to downtown and one can hear all the trains as they roll through, part of the charm of Staunton. The walking route to town was closed during our stay but that was no big deal. Its a two minute drive down the hill to anything one would like to experience. Lovely time!

Went to staunton to see my granddaughter in some plays at the ASC. this was a PERFECT LOCATION It was also nice to have available parking. If you know the area, most places close to downtown only have parking on the street; which I hate. None of the bedrooms are on the main floor; which was a little harder for my age. But would stay there again

Great place in cute neighborhood!

We had a great visit to this property. The kitchen is huge and very well-appointed with brand-new appliances. It opens onto a cozy living room so it was a great place for all of us to hang out. The beds are comfortable and rooms are spacious. Just be aware that 2 bedrooms are upstairs and 2 are in the basement, so there is a little bit of space between them if you're traveling with kids and want everyone to be close together. The backyard was massive and would be great if you had kids who wanted to run around and play. Location is great - very close to downtown, restaurants, shopping, etc. but still located in a quiet neighborhood. Off-street parking was a plus as well! Overall, great place to stay in Staunton!

Wedding weekend

I booked The Red House to stay in for my daughter's wedding. Friends and family from 3 different states were able to share this house. Host was responsive to messages and check in was super easy. Beware if you have elderly people stay with you - bedrooms and 1 bathroom are either up steep stairs or down steep stairs. Not a deal breaker, but definitely something to be aware of. House was clean and plenty of room for all 8 of us. Neighborhood is old and quiet! Love seeing the houses being given new life!
