This is a great place! It is just as presented and very well furnished and maintained. It is a very cozy and relaxing setting. The hosts were friendly and responsive to questions.
The home is exactly as described. Even with the more modern amenities it retains its classic charm.
My only suggestion is to add that this is an upstairs dwelling in the description, in case any visitors have mobility concerns
We would definitely recommend!
The rental should be listed as a 2 bedroom; the sectional couch is considered the 3rd place to sleep--not the best to sleep on; since a sectional has a tendency to separate when you move around on it. We had 6 adults in the unit. The Unit is spacious--it is the entire upper level of the house. Make sure you can do steps. It was a great location. Didn't spend much time in the house. Great location.
We chose this place due to its location in downtown Shelbyville and short drive to Lithia Springs Marina. It has beautiful architecture, which we loved online and in person. The unit was clean and ready for use when we arrived. The owners were very friendly, helpful, and responsive to messages. While it was nice overall, we found the VRBO listing to be a bit misleading from what we expected. The listing mentioned three bedrooms, while we had only two formal bedrooms with one family/living room with a pull out couch to sleep. Not a big deal, but not what we were expecting. Additionally, likely due to the home’s age, there is no oven in the kitchen. Again, not a big deal, but we had to adjust our meal planning as a result. Finally, we found that the one bathroom in the unit does not have a locking door, which made privacy a bit tricky at times. Again, we loved the beautiful architecture, but were expecting something just a bit more updated. Thanks again for helping our family with our short getaway!
Great location in the heart of historic Shelbyville...
This was a perfect location for our 2 night stay in Shelbyville. It was close to our extended family and it met our needs. We had a wonderful experience and will plan to rebook in the future! Highly recommend it! Appreciated the attention given to us by the super host!
The space is more roomier than we thought! Very clean. A little confusion in getting into the property but Mark was very prompt in responding and helping us.
Other than it being extremely warm in the bedrooms and the battery on the smoke detector going bad, the house was perfect. We went and bought fans at the local Walmart for our second night to help cool it off. This was for the upstairs unit, it was nice and cool downstairs when we came in.
We really enjoyed our stay here. Great location, plenty of parking, and the place had everything we needed.
The only negatives- the bed in the main bedroom needs updated. When two people lay in the bed it sinks in the middle. The shower has zero water pressure (I’m sure if the shower head was changed to a smaller shower head than the rainfall head that’s in there it would be better). Also, no hot water to the kitchen- not sure why that is.

Nice place but eh
Provided 2 towels for 4 adults on a 3 day stay. I reached out via email/mobile prior never was able to get hold of anyone until check in. Did not get correct key code until I had to call in (first communication). On Netflix - the icon has “ lesser people” log in .
