(Vrbo # 817328 and Vrbo # 398617) The Grande Dame of the Triple Crown is finally finished after 3 years of painstaking renovations and decoration. With her sister mansion Priester House situated next door, you can now host up to 37 adults in both houses (Priester sleeps 16, Koehler sleeps 21 adults). and our Gaines orioerty sleeps 12\. In this, our third house, known as the Koehler House and pictured here there are 8 full bedrooms each with a separate en suite bath. A Queen Anne residence circa 1895 fit for one of the captains of industry of the Gold Coast. Built during the zenith of the neighborhood, the Koehler Mansion was built by Mr. and Mrs. Koehler to be next to their beloved daughter who had married into the Priester family and who lived next door. There is still a stairway connecting the two properties in the back yard. It is fun to imagine the grandchildren of the Koehlers and the Priester given free rein to run and play in both huge houses, watched by their adoring parents, grandparents and household servants. The Koehler Mansion features a fully appointed kitchen with a fireplace and a large granite island around which to serve and circulate. A cozy breakfast room illuminated by a ship chandelier and the panes of hundreds of pieces of beveled glass. 14 adults can be seated comfortably in the majestic dining room which features a fireplace and seating around the dining table surrounded by a 360 degree scenic mural of the Mississippi River and paddle wheel steamboats. There is a full walk-through butlers pantry featuring china, glassware and flatware for your use. There are three vintage tin ceilings in the kitchen, master bedroom and east bedroom, a magnificent entry way, and a total of five fireplaces in the house, all are fitted with safe electric log-effect heaters. In the entryway there is a chinese screen-enclosed alcove with a trundle bed for a person wishing to reside on the ground floor. The circular outdoor porch in the backyard is magnificent and is the crowning focus of the house. The porch overlooks the river with peekaboo views. It overlooks both back yards and is a lovely place to enjoy the sun with its south-facing view that is shaded all day long. By far the favorite public room in the house is the ladies parlor located just off the dining room decorated in soft blue and featuring its original Murano glass chandelier. Soft muted afternoon light and brilliant sunshine on wintery days make this a cozy gathering place that everyone will love. Every bedroom is decorated with an individual theme. One the first floor there are the Chinese screened alcove with the trundle bed and a queen sized hide a bed in the ladies parlor. The ladies parlor can be made private by its original pocket doors.

Every day we noticed something different. There is plenty of room for a large family or group. We were 11 adults in town for a golf weekend. The House was perfect for us and we enjoyed lounging in the inside and outside of the property. The immediate neighborhood does not offer a lot but a short drive you can get to many restaurants, golf, casinos, etc. we used VIP transportation to get around to the golf courses and they were great to work with if you need transportation. ##### nicholas f.

The property really fit this well as everyone had a separate bedroom. The backyard was secluded and an excellent spot to congregate. The surrounding neighborhood didn't have much to offer, but it was a short distance to the downtown restaurants. Very cool house that was well maintained. The only issue we ran into was there isn't central air on the main floor and the window units had a little difficulty keeping up on a 90+ degree day. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Amanda D. 28 Oct 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great House for Groups This house was large enough for our group and provided a great place to stay for the duration of our time in Davenport. We arrived when it was dark and it was a little tricky to get into the house. There were no checkout instructions and that was a little confusing. If you are looking for a large house with lots of bedrooms and bathrooms, this is it. The kitchen was well equipped and we were glad to be able to cook most of our meals there. Cleanliness left a little to be desired and we did see evidence of some critters, but it is a large property and there is a lot to clean! ##### Amanda D.

The whole process from reservation to check in and check out was flawless. The owner, Lois, communicated quickly and clearly whenever we had questions. We would highly recommend this property for any large group events. You can tell a lot of love and hard work went into the restoration of this unique home. ##### Andrea M.

Eight friends stayed three nights and enjoyed snooping through the rooms admiring all the details. One suggestion though—how about a piano? Two of us would have loved sitting at a piano in the front parlor playing and singing. Due to the rainfall our golfing was a wash we really enjoyed ourselves at the Koehler Mansion. ##### Marcia R.

It was so nice that each bedroom had its own full bathroom and made for super convenience. The backyard came in handy one of the evenings for kids to play. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the AC units worked seeing that each day there were in the 90s. Small deduction for cigarette butts left on back porch and yard from previous guests and the neighborhood can be a little suspect but you can’t fault owner for that. Truly a lovely home and overall we enjoyed our time there. ##### Matthew H.

We are 4 families who have vacationed together since our kids were pre-teen. They are now all out of college. There are 17 of us so we used every room. The guest to bathroom ratio was a huge plus for us. The home is beautiful and historic. The beds were comfortable the back porch and patio great for morning coffee or afternoon cocktails We found a booklet of historic homes in the neighborhood so we enjoyed exploring and finding them.

Inside the house was furnished beautifully with lots of character. The main TV did not work and when we called the caretaker, there was no response. The freezer was not freezing properly. Despite our concerns, we found the house charming and enjoyed our stay. ##### Patty P.

We rented this house as we needed 8 bedrooms with 8 attached bathrooms. When we arrived one of the attached bathrooms had a broken sink and tub with notes attached to not use. Fortunately for us one couple was unable to attend so we used the extra room. After the first night, one couple said they froze. After investigation, they found one of the windowpanes in their room was broken out. With lots of renovation and regular maintenance, this property truly could be a jewel. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shawn B. 20 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best house ever for 13 guys on a golf weekend that won't share a beds! This place could not have been a better set up for our HS Golf Reunion Weekend. From the location (close to downtown Davenport & some great golf courses), to the layout of the house (very cool Victorian architecture & every bedroom has a bathroom), the kitchen (very updated & large enough for most of us stand around the island and have our morning coffee), to the back porch (our primary hang out spot with total privacy), and the Grand Dining Room (that held all 13 of us around the massive table for meals), as well as very ample parking. Beautifully decorated, but not overdone. Meaning "super comfortable" & "homey"! Thanks to Lois & Maurice Woods for what y'all put into getting this gem back in action.

Ants in the kitchen, and Lady Bugs on all the beds. There were a few dead flies too. Maybe 10\. We couldnt get in because we were given the wrong pass code. Then when we got the right code the keys were NOT in the box. Maintenance man was good. Each time we called him he responded quickly. ##### RHONDA L. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ---
