4.6 miles from LMU. Cozy 2-bedroom Lustron home located in Middlesboro, Ky,

My husband and I were born and raised in Middlesboro, Ky. We currently rent to students attending Lincoln Memorial University Veterinarian and Medical School. This is our first and only VRBO. Still in our first year we are very open to suggestions that would make our guests more comfortable.

This house belonged to my great Uncle Ernest Wakin and Uncle Ernie's sister Louise. Uncle Ernie passed the house down to my husband and I. He loved people. Spent his very simple life taking care of others and visiting the patients in the Middlesboro Hospital every day. He loved company, so inviting people to stay at his home seemed appropriate and would make him smile. So, we didn't choose this neighborhood, it just happens to be in one of the greatest locations to stay in Middlesboro. Located 0.2 miles from the best steak in town. Shades Cafe and Steakhouse. Great Pizza at Ike’s Artisan Pizza which is just up the street from Shades. Coffee Shop and great sandwich shop all within .9 miles from Uncle Ernie's. Need groceries? 1.3 miles straight ahead is a Food City.

Uncle Ernie's is a 1950s all enameled steel Lustron Home. These homes were designed to address the post-World War ll housing shortage particularly for returning veterans. Trying to keep with its unique mid-century modern aesthetics, we have decorated with a mid-century flare. Only 2,500 of these homes were built. It is an Historical Landmark. Until its remodel the first of 2025 there was nothing made of wood. Even the kitchen cabinets were made of steel. It's a very interesting and unique home.
