This house was probably the best short term rental I've ever stayed in. It was the best blend of old and new. There are three bedtime, each with it's own bathroom. The bath attached to the bedroom on the first door has only a tub and not a shower but there's also a separate little bath with a shower on the first floor. The host Aldi had a very nice outdoor eating area and porch. The location is very close to downtown, within easy waking distance. We had a fabulous time visiting the area.

Well appointed, comfortable beds, large welcoming outdoor space and great location. Unfortunately there was construction happening in a property behind the house so it wasnt pleasant out there until they left around 4pm. An issue about Jacksonville now is rentals cannot offer recycling!!! Because that matters to us we brought home bittkes and newspapers.

My girlfriends & I drove over from the coast to explore the Applegate lavender fields & enjoy quaint Jacksonville. The house was in a good location, clean & well equipped. We did have a little challenge with learning how to work the air conditioning so a guide would’ve been helpful & a place to provide for recycling. Thanks for sharing this lovely property - The CC poker gals

We loved our stay here. The house is immaculate, very well decorated, historical background was interesting to read, lovely garden and porch for enjoying a meal or morning coffee. Beds were comfortable and super soft sheets. Perfect place for exploring Jacksonville’s small Main Street, and convenient access to many pleasant laid back Wineries. Will definitely look to stay there again when my group of friends return for a weekend mini-reunion.

We stayed a week in May. As others have shared, this is a wonderful historic place to stay situated in an ideal location for easy access to Jacksonville’s shops, restaurants, and hiking. Grocery store convenient directly across the street. Home is beautiful and comfortable. 2 bedrooms en-suite on 2nd floor. Large Master suite on main level w/bathroom w/ large tub, toilet & sink. A shower is located in the laundry room nearby. Well stocked kitchen. This home lacks nothing. Add the fabulous outdoor garden area, porch, and sitting area, and its a 5 star rental. Lawn area for croquet & cornhole games (provided). Deer and birds seen often. We have stayed in numerous VRBO properties & we highly recommend this as an excellent choice.
