Even better than expected
Dealing with Glenn was super easy, and definitely follow his instructions on driving in as the road is narrow with no room to turn around. As you walk in the place immediately gives you vibes of great history and how they lived back in 1898. The outside was patio and deck areas were amazing with views worth every penny. When I realized there was no TV in the place I got a little worried with teenagers, but the place was so amazing with such amazing outside amenities the kids didn’t even want to be inside. Would definitely stay again and refer this place to others. Thank you for restoring this piece of history and sharing it with us.

Awesome place! Location was great - beautiful walk down to the main streets. The house was a very cool experience with so much of it true to its history. The drive up to the house was intimidating the first time but we got the hang of it!

Spectacular view
We enjoyed our one night stay here. Great view of Jerome and surrounding landscape, all amenities were as advertised except for “gym”…. There is definitely no gym.

This home was absolutely beautiful. There were cute notebooks that were left for people to write about their stay and some of them even brought tears to our eyes. You can just tell how much time and energy the owner put into this. All of the information around the house had enough for us to read for hours. We loved reading about the history of the house and everything. I would leave 10 stars if I could. If you’re going to Jerome, stay here! The view is amazing just sitting on the porch. The drive up is a bit scary, but my goodness is it worth it. Will definitely be staying here again for our next trip to Jerome.

Trip Back in Time
It’s amazing to stay in a historical home and have the opportunity to enjoy the home’s very well documented timeline. This home exceeded our expectations and brought up memories for my aunts of their own childhoods. The five of us ranged in age from 51 to 86. The house had modern amenities and comforts disguised as period pieces. Evenings on the patio and porch are amazing! We were entertained by bats flying about. The property is extremely clean, well supplied, and has a beautiful view. The only downside is the second switchback onto Magnolia during the drive up. In a car you will scrape bottom, in a large SUV the 3 point turn can be tricky. This is absolutely no fault to the homeowner, and once parked the walk to town is super easy.
