This historic carriage house was built in 1910. We added modern touches but really wanted to keep the character! You will have a bedroom with a queen bed, kitchen, bathroom with shower and living room. There is very fast Wi-fi, Smart TV, record player that also connects via bluetooth to your device, and hot tub. You also have a private outdoor area with seating.
We are in the process of renovating the large home on the property!

Loved just about everything about this romantic tiny home. The only complaint we had was the hot tub, though I already had low expectations for it since it is an inflatable one. We did decide not to get in because it didn’t look as though it had been cleaned (leaves and dirt were gathered at the bottom). Other than that, we loved our stay! The aesthetic of the home was so cute. The bed was super comfy. The inside of the house was clean. We only stayed one night, so we didn’t have a chance to use the kitchen. The shower water pressure was nice. We liked that you could drive into the gate and close them behind you, giving a bit more privacy.
This space is exactly as advertised. I booked for one night and wish I would have done two! It is secluded enough for you to enjoy privacy, but also close enough to stores if you forgot to bring something essential (like I did). The kitchen is stocked with basic cooking supplies and has retro appliances that work perfectly. The hot tub is a great touch for added relaxation. The bed is beyond comfortable… memory foam! Honestly, nothing I write here will do this space justice. You may think the price is high for a small space (saw that in some comments before my stay), but I thought my rate was fair and accurate for how the owners have curated it. When my stay was over (sad), it was nice to be so close to a must go place in Alton (Fast Eddie’s). I will be booking again in the future!

What makes this property unique
This beautiful historic property was built in 1910. They don’t make homes like this anymore. We are blown away by historic architecture and feel honored to own and restore one ourselves.
