This historic house was such a neat place to stay. It was clean, comfortable, and very close to town square. We loved learning the history of Ola Babcock Miller and her family. Would highly recommend if you need a place to stay in Washington.

This was our friend group’s third year of staying at “Ola’s House.” It never disappoints. The kitchen is stocked with every utensil you need. Cafe Dodici is a must for dinner.

Great short stay with lots of room and amenities

In town for my mother’s celebration of life. This home had plenty of room for friends and family to visit afterward. The hot tub was a great bonus for some needed decompression.

Beautiful, clean, quiet stay

A group of girlfriends and I stayed for two nights and had a wonderful time! Everything was wonderful except I will say the beds were a bit hard. I think a mattress topper on each bed would make it perfect! The owners were excellent at communicating and we will stay again if the beds are made softer!

Girls weekend

Great weekend with friends in a gorgeous Victorian house. Beautifully appointed and the beds and bedding were so fluffy and comfy! The neighborhood is quiet, the hot tub was relaxing and there’s ample driveway and some street parking. Would highly recommend and would go back.

Beautiful historic house meets every need for Girl’s Getaway!

This rental is a gem. Beautiful house with rooms aplenty in quaint Iowa town. Everything from ping pong to comfy furniture, luxurious towels, amazingly restored woodwork and floors, easy check in, and front porch with rockers, and a backyard deck, sun room, and breakfast nook. You can’t go wrong in staying here! Highly recommend!!

Graduation

We traveled from out of State to celebrate a Graduation from High School. It was a wonderful weekend to spend with the family. It is a beautifully restored historical home. Very interesting reading about the original homeowners throughout the home.

Perfect for Our 20-year Friendship Celebration

What a history lesson and celebration! We stayed at the Ola Babcock Miller house to celebrate 20 years of friendship. The house was perfect for our get-together. It is impeccably designed and the amenities were five-star. We also had dinner at Cafe Dodici and was "wowed" by the menu and wine list...very authentic. We made a pact to go back every year.

Beautiful!

So nicely redone. This house for our needs perfectly. The point pong table was a big hit. There was enough space for everyone and everything was clean and serviceable. We also loved that there were so many close coffee shops! I think we tried 3. We enjoyed reading all the historical info throughout the house. What a nice touch. Overall, we had a great stay and if we return to Washington, we would stay here again.
