Stayed 9 nights. Historic neighborhood that is coming back. Parking is tucked away in back of the building and secluded from the street. It is very well restored with new touches in all the right places but it is true to its past. Half bath off the kitchen is nice, as are the 2 bathrooms upstairs. Beds are comfortable and air conditioning works very well. Kitchen well stocked and very responsive property owner.

I told the owner he has ruined me from ever staying in a hotel again! the place is awesome! the mix of the antiques and modern updating is spectacular. can't wait to come back!

I cannot talk highly or recommend enough the stay we had at the townhouse we were there for 31 nights and enjoyed each and every day there, it was so comfortable and welcoming with a lovely feel about the place, the house the porch the garden were all amazing and Jack and Marion, I have not met two more lovely and accommodating people nothing was too much trouble they went above and beyond day in and day out for us and they were so lovely to chat to and get to know, we would not hesitate to go back again and again and wish them well and thanks so much for adding to our holiday and making it extra special

Great location. Very Clean, and comfortable. Jack is quick to respond and extremely helpful in all things Quad Cities, beyond just the property itself. Highly recommend a stay at this property overlooking the Mississippi.

Let’s start with a quick synopsis for a short read… This place is amazing! Fantastic location, beautiful historic home with tons of space and every amenity a traveler could possibly need. The home is clean, comfortable and relaxing. Although the place is located on a main street it’s surprisingly quiet. The property is located well above street level giving a safe/secure feeling. The house is centrally located so I was able to travel from Chicago to Ames with ease and easy access to multitudes of close restaurants, shopping, entertainment, etc. The owner, Jack & Marion, are beyond accommodating. Always available and very respectful of my privacy. If you love architecture and quality and want to stay around the quad cities, this property is a MUST!!

Property was beautiful and filled with local info for exploring the historic area. The host was awesome and quick to respond.

This townhome is a delight! It has been beautifully restored with all the right modern updates in all the right places. The kitchen is good sized, with a stove any chef would enjoy, and a small bar for socializing with the cook. The living room is open to the dining room and large enough to host a full family but still feel cozy and homey enough to curl up with a good book by the fireplace. Upstairs the main bathroom has a full washer and dryer. Bedrooms are furnished with antiques to compliment the home's origins. The master suite has a large shower and closet which have both been tastefully updated for peak modern functionality. As with any historic home it is in a neighborhood where some houses have yet to be restored and appear quite run-down. To me, this is all the more reason to choose to stay here, as it inspires investors to continue making improvements to the area. During our stay, Jack and his wife graciously gave us a tour of the connected townhomes, which are in the process of being restored, and a brief history of architecture in the area. The location in terms of proximity to attractions and restaurants is beyond ideal! We were within walking distance to the Freight House Farmer's Market, Mantra (our new favorite Indian restaurant), and Modern Woodman Park. For the younger crowd, or simply the young at heart, there were nearby parks and Poké Stops for Pokémon Go! Overall, our VRBO experience was a little slice of heaven! We were able to relax and feel at home without the stressors of home, and we are looking forward to staying again in the future!
