I really enjoyed by stay here. Great little place that was clean, comfortable, and decorated beautifully. Everything worked and the room had everything I needed. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. I've stayed in hotels in this area, and none of them come close to this spot!
We really enjoyed staying here! Right off the square which has everything for a vacation: shopping, restaurants, civil war museum, beautiful courthouse. We'll be back as we discovered there's much more to do in Carthage.

This was the absolute cutest room ever! We had two teenagers with us and they loved the loft bed. It was so cozy and comfortable super clean we couldn’t have asked for anything better. The hosts were quick to respond and super friendly. I would recommend this to anyone.

Hi David,
Thank you! There are several great restaurants within walking distance including Roscoes. We do hope you return to discover more about Carthage.
This was our second time staying time staying at this property. Both times have been wonderful experiences! It is very clean and in a great location! One of our favorite places to stay at!! We highly recommend!
I’ve stayed with hosts Dave and Carissa a few times in the past five years. The studio and the loft are both amazing properties. This is the perfect location when I visit family and the Route 66 connection is so much fun. I highly recommend this historic property and the wonderful hosts who share it.
Property was clean and right off the main square. Loved the location and size of the property. Super CUTE!!!!
