Great home

This was our second stay in this charming historic home in less than two years, and it was just as wonderful as the first! The house is impressively well maintained given its age, and the host is incredibly friendly and responsive. It’s in a fantastic location for exploring the area—ideal for history lovers and anyone who appreciates classic architecture.

Happy Times

We had a great time and the host was very kind to let us pay just a small fee after we had a surprise guest stay with us.The house is at a great location for visiting all that St Joseph has to offer. One of these days I want to come to St Joseph when the Weather is not so cold and enjoy the patio area

Beautiful home in St. Joseph

Our family really enjoyed the stay! The house is extremely well kept, the bathrooms are clean, the kitchen was excellent, and the beds were comfortable. Host is very easy to communicate with. The house is very secure and there is a good alarm system--not their fault, but house is not situated in the best part of town.

Awesome property

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. My elderly mom was with us and we had a wonderful time and enjoyed looking at all the antiques and the detail in this home. Anything you could ever need is provided for you and everything is so neat and clean. My mom didn’t want to leave. It was close to everything we did in Saint Joseph.

Gothic House

House is beautiful! Clean, lovely antique furniture throughout. Fun to read the history of the house. Location in historic district makes it fun to see many gorgeous houses in the area. Only weakness is the lighting, it makes putting on makeup interesting. We would definitely stay here again but bring better makeup mirrors.

Great little house

We were visiting St. Joe for a week and the house was the right size for everything we needed. The interior was nicely furnished and had a few extras, such as laundry detergent, coffee, etc. The location is closer to downtown, but nothing is too far in St. Joe. The owner has control of the heating and cooling, but was very responsive when we asked for it to be adjusted.

Great house

Everything was clean and well maintained. Check in process was effortless. I would recommend this property to everyone. The beds were extremely comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet. Slept great. Kitchen was stocked with all necessary items. Host has lots of history through the house to look at and learn about early St. Joe. We give it five stars

Property was the perfect area for everything we wanted to see and visit. So enjoyed the renovations of the old mansions around your house. And the renovations you have done yourself. You still kept the old but renovated with just enough new to make it comfortable. Thank you! Tracy

Chiefs Training Camp

Beautiful restored house! Loved the unique features. Pictures in the listing don’t do it justice! Much better then expected. Only complaint is the owner doesn’t allow you to adjust the air, he has to do it. House was HOT when we arrived but finally he adjusted the air for us and made it more comfortable. Check in and out were a breeze!

Art History Music

Such a beautiful property. So full of history and art. The music gives this home a unique setting over other properties. My grandson and his girlfriend spent most of their time on the piano, which I love. James is an awesome host, all requests were handled very quickly. Will definitely consider this home again. Thank you James. Thanks Bret

Wonderful Experience.

What can I add to the already great reviews? When you enter the house , you can feel this is not your regular rental. The furnishings and memorabilia, nostalgia can be felt. However the appliances are modern. So a combination of old and new. WIFI, TV Work great. Lots of hot water. Can't believe there's also a USB charging outlet! The house is spotless. All the basics you need. The beds are extremely comfortable. Entry is secure. Check in ,Check out smooth. Space to sit outside and enjoy. Area is quiet and safe. Short drives to Chiefs training camp, stores and restaurants. James is readily available to answer any questions and concerns. Thank you James for hosting me and giving me the opportunity to experience this beautiful house.
