This home is beautiful, classy updates and such attention to all details. We had been traveling for six weeks staying at other rentals This home was at the top of the list. We felt very safe here as well. It is in a one way street with parking out front or in the driveway. Other than an occasional car going up the street, the neighborhood is very quiet. We truly enjoyed having a glass of wine on the front porch.!! I could go on, but in short, we would definitely stay again and highly recommended. Thank you for hosting!Cheryl and David

A great place, very clean and so well equipped, especially the kitchen. The beds are comfortable and have duvets with covers. Cozy! It was great to have a bathroom for each bedroom plus a half bath on the first floor. The house is in a good location, an easy walk to ‘downtown’ with good restaurants and interesting stores. Staunton is a nice town and good location to explore the Shenandoah Park.

A town full of surprises

This home was beautifully decorated and staged. Very clean. The beds were extremely comfortable and having 3 en suite bedrooms was excellent. The kitchen was well equipped and the communication with the host very fast. The house is close to downtown as well as many of the local attractions. We were all impressed with the house and the town. 10 marks out of 10.

Updated, Clean and Close to Town

My husband, 3 year old, 2 month old and I all stayed for four nights. We appreciated the proximity to attractions. We visited Natural Chimneys and Blue Ridge Tunnel, both about 30 minutes away. If you have children, definitely check out Montgomery Hall park only 5 minutes away. Glad the park was so close, especially since the front porch is the only outdoor space. Eat at Mill Street Cafe, delicious!

Lovely home but hard to access

My family stayed here while visiting me in Staunton and they enjoyed the space. It was the perfect size to meet up and share some meals while they were in town. However, the property itself was a little hard to access. With how close street parking spots were to the driveway, it was impossible to fit two cars into the driveway and I always had to resort to street parking. Getting into the house itself also proved challenging - the front stairs are quite steep and my father felt unsteady without a tight grasp on the handrail.

Lovely house; excellent owner

We really had a great stay here. The house has been completely (and beautifully) renovated. Though it's sited quite close to the street, we had no issues with noise - which says a lot, considering we live on 40 acres of woods in northern Vermont. The house has pretty much everything you could ask for. It's centrally located in a safe neighborhood and within walking distance to a number of restaurants & cafes. We enjoyed some DELICIOUS pizza at Pizza Luca as well as yummy tacos and burritos at Chicano Boy Taco. We also visited several local attractions and hiking areas. The owner was very responsive to our questions and checked with us a couple of times to make sure all was good during our stay.We've stayed at a number of vacation rentals and highly recommend this one. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Perfect Retreat

This house is perfectly set up for guests. everything we needed was at hand, even some things we didn’t know we would want, like chargers for all sorts of devices. How this place manages to balance the. Victorian charm of an older home with every modern convenience you’d want is astounding. It was clean and well stocked. The location si an easy walk to all of downtown but out o the way enough to be quiet. Honestly, the view f sunrise from the front porch and living room window is worth the price alone. We couldn’t have been happier with this property.

Staunton Convenient to Everything

This historic home is just down one of Staunton's main residential streets from Mary Baldwin University. The house has been completely restored in a modernist style. The kitchen is both appealing and functional. The parlor area has adequate seating for several people. The bed was quite comfortable. I should note that our host, Chris was a great communicator and made extra effort to ensure we enjoyed our stay..

Historic Staunton House

Recently renovated, just outside the main shopping and restaurant downtown area, the house was extremely clean and stocked with everything a traveler might need. Location was easy to find, check in and out was simple, and double lock door was secure and safe. The ambience of the interior was fresh and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this house if visiting historic Staunton.
