There are outdoor porches on the east side, south side, and a large screened porch facing the river on the west side of the house.

The kitchen is bright and well-stocked; your hosts are only a text or call away if any essentials have been over-looked. There is a Keurig coffee maker as well as a standard brewing machine for coffee.

Perfect Gathering Place

This house is spectacular! The historic aspects along with modern amenities makes it perfect. So many places to visit with others or be by yourself with a good book. The screened in porch is a perfect setting for morning coffee while watching birds land in the river. Quiet, relaxing and overall amazing.

Such a unique historic home

My family and parents and siblings stayed for a wedding. My kids loved the property and my parents loved the history. Everything was great. We were able to host additional family for a dinner and had plenty of room. The screened in porch was definitely my favorite part. The view of the river and little dock was so enjoyable. If we ever come back, that would be my first choice to stay.

Family gathering for a funeral

We had a funeral to attend with relatives traveling from South Dakota and the Minneapolis area. We had 8 one night and 9 the second night. This was so much better than a hotel since we could be together before and after the service. We actually had many other relatives stop by after the funeral as there was no other place for a gathering! It was SO nice to have this beautiful home to host loved ones to visit with each other after we left the church. We will be using VBRO again and would highly recommend this property. Our Host, Mary, was very easy to communicate with!!
