About the Vacation Rental Unit:

Stay close to your travel companions while enjoying the privacy of two separate apartments. This combined reservation includes the Magnolia apartment and the Gardner apartment, each offering one bedroom, one full bathroom, and a living room with a queen pullout sofa. Together, the apartments accommodate up to eight guests.

The Magnolia apartment features a king bed, while the Gardner apartment offers a queen bed. Each apartment accommodates up to four guests, making this pairing a convenient option for families, couples, or friends traveling together.

Built in 1847, the historic property was once owned by Major John Childress, brother of First Lady Sarah Childress Polk, wife of President James K. Polk. Sarah Polk was known to visit the home. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the property carries nearly 180 years of local history. Portions of the home were converted into apartments during the 1930s, continuing its residential story.

Both apartments are upstairs and reached by an exterior staircase at the rear of the property. Each has its own apartment entrance. Detailed arrival and entry instructions will be provided before your stay.
