Loved the location!

Our adult kids met us here to enjoy a long July 4th weekend in Shelby. This house was so clean and perfectly appointed with cool, comfortable furniture. I especially loved the location because a pleasurable walk through the heart of the Shelby Historic District puts you in the adorable Uptown area where we ate excellent food and drank good beer. The McSwain House was perfect place to call home. We were all very happy here!

A relaxing oasis in uptown Shelby

What a lovely "home away from home"! I was in town to settle the estate and home of my late sister and, at my friends' urging, booked this VRBO house instead of a hotel. Brilliant! We had a roomy, lovely, clean, and relaxing home base during a sad time. We cooked, could truly relax on comfy chairs and sofas, and even had local friends for dinner our last night in town (plenty of room at the dining table for friends). Beds were super comfortable, with breathable, silky sheets. We had a couple of questions and our host was extremely responsive and helpful. This was a wonderful experience and I recommend the host and the property.

About the host

Hosted by Courtney R Gleason

Host profile image
My husband David and I are homesteaders, small business owners, and real estate investors. Back in 2014, we left our suburban home in favor of a rural, dilapidated 100+ year old farmhouse. Since then, we have been slowly restoring the farmhouse, homeschooling our four kids, and building our farmstead and businesses from the (literal) ground up.

Why they chose this property

The McSwain House is one of our favorite projects- we have carefully and thoughtfully renovated this home while keeping historical accuracy in mind. It has such a unique and special history, and we're proud to help usher in a new chapter. We hope you'll love it, and that you stay in touch!
