About this property
The Red House
Experience the charm of yesteryears with a stay in our beautifully restored 1862 Red House, nestled in the heart of Monticello's historical business district. If you're a history enthusiast or simply looking for a unique getaway, this is the perfect place for you.
Please note: The historic building is also home to a speakeasy style tavern.
The basement has been transformed into a speakeasy-style tavern located at the back of the building with its own entrance. The speakeasy’s normal operating hours are from 3 PM to 10 PM.
While precautions have been taken to soundproof the space, some noise may occasionally be heard from the first floor living room area, depending on the evening’s activity in the tavern. We want to ensure you have a delightful stay and appreciate your understanding of this unique feature.
The space

The full bathroom features a vanity, walk in shower, toilet and heated floors.
The third bedroom is located in the Loft and has two twin beds. Please use caution while using or letting children use the loft steps, They are steep and could be dangerous if safety rails aren't used properly.

Other things to note
