I stayed here 6 nights for my son’s baseball tournament and it was the perfect accommodation for my needs. Kate was easy to get ahold of if I needed anything like extra towels. I also loved staying somewhere with so much preserved history!

Beautiful place to stay, historic area with walking tours around and museums in the area. The carriage house was adorable and nicely done. The stairs are steep so best for people who are fully ambulatory. But well worth it for the convenience and comfort I enjoyed. I actually saw both rabbits and deer while walking my dog.

Fun and quaint place to stay! It was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. It was cool staying in a place that was built in 1908! It was also private which was very nice. Nice neighborhood with other Victorian houses to see as well. Would stay again!

I had a great stay at this property! I stayed here for one night as a part of my cross country road trip. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. I got a great night’s sleep. Council Bluffs is a very beautiful town. If I’m ever in the area again I would stay here again!

Disliked: Cleanliness, location
The stairs are twisty narrow small. Not for the bigger than average size person to maneuver…as is the bathroom. Neighbors were loud. Revving engines & loud noises. There was a large metal storage container blocking the view of the entrance. I walked around it, w/caution, and saw the entrance.The place needed a much deeper cleaning. There was something in the kitchen sink strainer, when I put the toilet seat lid down you could see that it hadn’t been cleaned thoroughly, and the towels had stains on them.
Top of twisty stairs.
Going down past the first turn.

Great place

Love this loft. I too live in a historic type home and this little cottage is just perfect. The only thing I didn’t bring was soap and there was none in the shower so that would have made it even better! The stairs are steep but they add to the charm. Very clean and bed was super comfy!

Pretty Good!

Overall a great little place at a great price. The inside was a little dirty with cobwebs and just kind of general grime, but nothing horrible. It was in a little rough shape with some damage to the property but that stuff is expensive to fix and didn't detract from the experience! My only issues are maybe a little deeper cleaning and the fridge didn't seem to work very well.

Cuter than I thought

The room is adorable and clean. The host definitely thought of everything to make you feel at home. It felt like stepping back in time! The stairs to get to the room were the old fashion wooden twisty stairs and the bathroom/kitchen had old fashion sinks. I loved that! The surrounding neighborhoods are also beautiful to drive through. I had a lovely stay!
