About this property
Top Floor Historic Limestone Property Downtown
Skip the ordinary Airbnb with our historic Rupp Loft! Named after the gentleman who saved this historic limestone house from demolition. The Rupp Loft has a King Temper-pedic mattress, and a full size pillow top mattress with medium firmness.
Sleep cool and refreshed with 100% organic cotton sheets. Turkish cotton towels are soft and supple yet dry quickly. All natural bathroom products for your use and epsom salt soak for your relaxation. Note, the ceiling in the shower may be low for guests over 6ft.
Feel safe and secure with driveway parking. Log in to all your favorite streaming services with Roku tv. Stay cool or warm with in apartment air conditioning and heating. High speed WiFi for your needs.
We provide fresh local coffee, tea, creamer, and organic eggs from our hobby farm and basic cooking supplies. Locally made honey, and jam when in season! Enjoy the antique newspapers found during renovations and local art!
Enjoy your evening with the outdoor fire pit, the amazing wrap around front porch and charcoal grill. *All outdoor spaces are shared with the first floor apartment. To guarantee the fire pit or grill please book the entire house which is listed on Airbnb.
We also have laundry facilities in the basement that guests can utilize.

About the host
Hosted by Larissa Munsch

We love anything old or quirky! Kris teaches construction management at FHSU, is a home inspector, writer (The Birdhouse Project) and saver of anything old. He has restored over 50 houses and was featured in This Old House magazine. Larissa also conducts home inspections but from the environmental aspect - radon, mold, and carbon monoxide. Larissa enjoys researching and designing the old houses that they work on together. Larissa also runs @oldhouselove on Instagram. When we aren't working on our projects or inspecting we enjoy playing with our two dogs and traveling. We are currently restoring our Craftsman farmhouse in which we live.
