Monte and Jan were excellent and accommodating hosts. The home was clean and well furnished with everything you could need during a stay. Communication was quick! Perfect location with easy access to shopping and restaurants. I loved being able to walk to the Plaza District at night! I will be staying with Monte and Jan for our next trip to OKC.

This is the perfect place to stay and you should book it now. We used to live in the OKC metro and were back in town for a couple graduations. This house was everything we needed, and more. Everything was clean and there are tons of supplies to make your morning, afternoon, and evening delightful. Monte was an awesome host and made sure we were comfortable and happy with the property. There are a lot of plants in this house, which helps make it very cozy and feel like an actual home instead of a “flipped” house rented out by a Vrbo host. We will return here again and again every time we come “home,” because that’s exactly how this property makes us feel: at home.

Excellent on all fronts. Monte was pleasantly involved throughout the whole process from reservations to the stay to checkout. The house was clean throughout and comfortable in all aspects. It is conveniently located to the raycom center, the bricktown area and all the downtown attractions. It is easy to get to and the neighborhood is also clean, safe and attractive. The kitchen is well equipped and the whole house is cozy with a lot of personality. We will definitely stay here for all our OKC adventures.

About the host

Hosted by Monte King

Host profile image
We lived in this home the first 2 years of marriage and even though our lives dictated we move away. We kept the house as a rental since 1982. All four of our grown children have rented it as young adults. We've had long term renters, most good and some bad. We chose not to renew the last lease agreement and reclaimed our home for other people and travelers to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

A historic and eclectic area with friendly neighbors in what historians say is Oklahoma City's first middle class neighborhood.
A vintage home in a preserved historic neighborhood built for JC Penneys good friend, Somerville Gilchrist. His first store manager in Oklahoma City. The home is largely preserved as built. Nine foot ceilings and original untouched maple woodwork. Original tile fireplace, hardwood floors and an entry room (for Rose Gilchrists baby grand piano) instead of an open front porch. As soon as you enter you will immediately feel at home.

What makes this property unique

Even if you tried I don't think one could find a more centrally located property in Oklahoma City.
