Wonderful quiet Carriage House

Highly recommended if staying in the area. Very easy access to capitol, downtown, and highways. Comfortable and quiet. Owners have provided all that’s needed. Easy access and good street parking.

Quiet retreat

Carriage House is in a quiet neighborhood with all the amenities of home. The bed was very comfortable. TV was Roku setup. From there it is an easy drive to downtown and the Coliseum. We were able to walk along the river every morning. Only two surprises: refrigerator door is backwards. And, no warning about street cleaning, so we got a parking ticket.

Perfect for us!

The carriage house was perfect! Upon arrival, it was clean offered all the amenities needed, including a washer and dryer, utensils and a smart TV with access to the best apps. The kitchen came stocked with seasonings and spices and they even had the ice trays full in the freezer which made this lover of ice very happy! The bed was the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on, even better than my bed at home! They even took the time to gather brochures and create an entire 3 ring binder of activities to do in the area. Their attention to detail was unreal! Communication with the owner was great. The space was small but they managed to utilize every bit of space in a way that made the home comfortable, enjoyable and feel larger than it was. It was absolutely perfect for the two of us and our small dog. Close to the interstate for easy access to everything we were doing. This will definitely be our preferred and first choice of place to stay next time we visit! Thank you so much!

About the host

Hosted by Joseph H. Deacon III

We are a married couple with boy/girl twins and three dogs. We renovated this space when we purchased this home, then discovered there was demand for short-term housing. We work hard and spend most of our time taking care of our twins!

Why they chose this property

We believe this is a great alternative to a traditional hotel option for someone wanting a space in a historic neighborhood in the heart of Charleston, WV.
