✦ If you're a Stranger Things fan, be sure to check out the Creel house across the street, and look for the Easter Eggs we've used to decorate the cottage. (There are 6!) ✦ Built in the 1940s, this historic home retains many of its original features, offering a unique and nostalgic experience. Please note that due to the home's age, the bathrooms are small, and some older interior doors do not have locks. We hope you enjoy the character and charm of this classic property! ✦ This is a downtown neighborhood and comes with all the conveniences and quirks that go along with that. ✦ You can easily walk to a favorite deli and Mexican restaurant just around the corner, or to Rome's Historic Broad Street restaurants and shops a little over a mile away. (We provide a list of our faves!) ✦ You may hear the downtown clock tower strike each hour (ending at 10:00 pm) and will likely hear the train from time to time. Each bedroom is equipped with a box fan to ensure noise isn't a concern. ✦ NO PETS Please ✦ PARKING: The house has a small driveway parallel to the neighbor's driveway. It can accommodate one or two small cars that pull to the front of the pad.
