Wedding weekend
My husband and I stayed here two nights the weekend of our wedding and it was the perfect location and distance from our ceremony/reception. The house was lovely and had everything we needed. There was plenty of space to have our wedding party over for lunch and to get ready/dressed for the ceremony as well. It's a very comfortable house and we would definitely consider staying here again and have recommended it to our friends if they have people coming to town!

Perfect House in Charles City
The house was beautiful! So very spacious. One bedroom and 2 living rooms on the main floor, and bathroom. Second floor has 3 beautifully decorated bedrooms and a huge bathroom. Washer & dryer on each floor. All different kinds of games. The kitchen is very well stocked. We used the house for a girls weekend and marveled at the decor and original woodwork and doors. The two summer indoor porches on each floor were adorable. The porch on the second floor even had its own coffee maker so you could sit out there and read and sip coffee. The back porch has outdoor canvas chairs and umbrellas. There’s a table, chairs, and bench outside also that we sat and visited during the night. This property is definitely worth staying at.

Perfect for our needs
This is a large, spacious older home with lots of character. We were on a girls' overnight, plant shopping trip and 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms were perfect for us. Beds were very comfortable and bedrooms were charming. We didn't need them, but washer and dryer were available on both levels! The kitchen was large and well-equipped. The house could use some small, cosmetic updates, but it was very clean and comfortable! We all appreciated having our own bedrooms. Perfect spot for our overnight stay!
