Spent our mornings sipping coffee on the front porch, then explored the area. Easy walk to the train, bike path, Rocky Boots and downtown square. Quick drive to beautiful hiking and atv trails. Very clean. Plenty of room for a family or group and fenced in backyard for pets. ##### Yvonne A. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JUDITH W.

We appreciated all the nice touches like fresh picked flowers on the dining room table and in the kitchen. The beds are comfortable. The house is over 100 years old, and well maintained. Overall, we felt like we were staying with a very hospitable grandma. Thank you for an enjoyable stay. ##### JUDITH W. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janese C.

We were there for just a few days I wouldn't have stayed longer. The location was great for our needs. The beds were not comfortable for people in their 70s. ##### Janese C.

The ice maker and water dispenser broken on the refrigerator. Not a problem for us, but others? ##### SueAnn L. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen H.

Beds were comfortable Hot tub was a little more like a warm tub, but we still enjoyed. They were working on the street in front so it was a little noisy first thing in the morning, but that wasn't the owner's fault. We were out most of the day. Pretty convenient to the caves. ##### Kirk V. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joelle N. Apr 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great for Mom’s Weekend This house was lovely and comfortable. It is 15 minutes from OU…an easy drive. The house was clean. Some disrepair of the house, but seemed to be, mostly, related to it being an older home. While the written description of the home lists this as a 1.5 bathroom, the section under bathrooms is misleading and makes it appear to be 2 full baths with a “shower/tub combo.” ##### Joelle N.

My only complaints are, it's really just four bedrooms and 1.5 bath, all of the beds are full size so my husband and I slept in different rooms. The wallpaper in the upstairs bathroom has begun to peel, and there is quite a bit of mold in there. We all left with horrible coughs and sore throat so unsure if it's related. The steps are definitely hard, steep, and not good if you have a bad back or kiddos, although they do have one set gated off. ##### Samantha S.
