About this property

The historical charm of Nana's nest

Charming one and 1/2 bedroom apartment located in historic downtown Wilmington. Romantic master bedroom with comfy pillows, and down comforter, decorated for the holidays. Ensuite bathroom complete with soft towels and simple necessities to make your stay feel like home. Relax with one of our great books or play a game, both are at your fingertips. Enjoy the essentials in the full kitchen complete with table settings for 6, coffee, tea and hot cocoa. A third guest can also enjoy the cozy sleeping nook. A queen air mattress and couch are available and can be used for 3 additional guests.

Conveniently located near great locally owned businesses and restaurants, many within walking distance. This is a great place to stay for the holidays or a weekend getaway. Located directly on the parade route for WHS Homecoming and Holidazzle and next door to the Saturday farmers' market and many great festivals and events in downtown Wilmington. Also near Wilmington College, Southern State, Cowan Lake, Caesar's Creek, and the World Equestrian Center. Kings Island and Prime Outlets are a short 30-minute drive. Only 45 min to downtown Cincinnati, Dayton it Columbus.

Wonderful restaurants within walking distance include the Historic General Denver, the Mediterranean and Fiesta Vera Cruz.

The Murphy Christmas show, Holidazzle parade and Hometown holidays are great seasonal activities.

A few more blocks down enjoy the best coffee and scones around at the Kava Haus or do a little shopping at one of the cute boutiques, used book shop or antique shops at the old mill.
Guests will enjoy the entire apartment with kitchen, bathroom, and laundry.

This apartment is completely private, so no worries about sharing space with other guests. Reserved off-Street parking also available. The apartment is located on the second floor so guest must be able to use stairs.

Guests may give us a call or text. If you are looking for things to do, we are more than willing to make suggestions or arrangements for you.

Great place to stay in the downtown Wilmington historic district. This is a great small town with wonderful galleries, theatre and music. We love our small town and can't wait for you to enjoy it too.

Great location. Older building but roomy. Hosts were easy to contact, and check-in and check-out was a breeze. Some street noise but not too bad. Appliances were good. Will stay again.

Nice quaint private place to stay.

We were here for the horse show. Close, easy to get to. Having a kitchen was a real plus for us. Even though things were going on downtown, the apartment was plenty quiet .

Friend hang out

We had a great time. It was a perfect place for us to hang out with my teenage daughter's friend who is a local. We enjoyed just chilling and relaxing after a day at the Newport Aquarium. Would stay again. We want to try Papsy's ice cream.

So glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. Papsy's opens on April 16th for the season. Hopefully you will get a chance to try it out when you are back in town. Thanks for choosing to stay with us.

Great Place

The apartment is very roomy and comfortable. And very convenient for activities in Wilmington area. Only suggestion would be it needs a snow shovel, basic salt and pepper, and a personal preference would be darkening curtains for the bedroom. We definitely hope to stay here again.

Roomy and comfortable

Lovely apartment with everything we could need. We stayed one night and the place was clean, the bed was comfortable and the living room was very nice. It rained quite a bit so we spent more time than we intended inside. We were glad for the lovely space. The place is right in town, and thankfully the town was very quiet after dark. We rested well.

Thrilled with this space and stay

We love old houses and loved staying here. Any old house quirks were charming and not uncomfortable in the slightest. Beds were comfy. Lots of extra comforts provided (coffee and creamer, robe, etc). I LOVED that one of the twin beds was set up in the living room right off the bedroom. My toddler was happy to sleep in it because she could see us, but it was far enough away that our phones and lights didn't bother her. We attend the Ren Faire every year and will stay here each time we come! Was about 15 min from the faire (Also lots of fun restaurants and little shops near the house.)
