Details are on the card by the QR code, and here when they're live.
- Set the temperature
Pick a comfortable setting and keep the outside doors shut while the heat or air runs. Old houses lose air fast.
- Find the porch
Grab a chair. It's the best seat on Lee Street, and that's the whole point.
How the house works
She's 116 years old, with modern systems behind original doors, floors and hardware. Be gentle and she'll be good to you.
SWIPE THE TOUR · TAP A PHOTO TO ENLARGE →Cook like you live here
Gas stove, full fridge, cookware and a coffee maker. Wash or load your dishes, and never leave the stove unattended.
Five queens
Every bedroom has a queen bed, and the couches take the overflow. Keep to the guest count on your reservation.
Three and a half
Old pipes are fussy. Only toilet paper goes in the toilets. Wipes and everything else go in the trash.
Comfortable, not arctic
Reasonable settings keep every floor even. Keep the outside doors closed while it runs.
For looks only
They're decorative. No fires, candles or incense anywhere in the house.
Easy does it
Don't force old doors, locks or hardware. If something sticks, message us and we'll walk you through it.
Owner storage
A few doors, including the laundry room and some closets, are locked. Everything you need is open to you.
Sit a while
Morning coffee or evening drinks. Bring food in when you're done so you don't feed the critters.
House rules
Registered guests only, overnight included.
No smoking or vaping inside, and no candles, incense or fireplace fires.
We love them, but the house isn't set up for them.
Lee Street is a neighborhood, and voices carry off a porch at night and early morning.
The stairs and railings are original and steep.
It happens. Send us a photo and we'll take care of it.

Everything's close
Downtown is about a fifteen-minute walk straight up Lee Street. Tap a pin for walking time and directions from the porch.
Where to eat
What to order, straight from people who've eaten there. Small-town hours shift, so tap Maps for today's.
After dark
A small town does nights its own way: a veranda drink above Lamar Street, live music on the corner, a bourbon tasting, a show at the Rylander.
