Satisfied design
Quaint two night stay to visit family in the area. Home was period decorated with colorful wall coverings and fixtures. This home also had all the comforts of home, equipped kitchen, games and great porch. Would love to visit again in the summer. Walking to town for dinner and coffe was very easy. Drove and hiked nearby forest park. Great getaway.

Family Getaway
We had a wonderful weekend in Jacksonville with family wine tasting throughout Jacksonville. The location of the property is ideal, walking distance to downtown, coffee, and Back Porch BBQ. The market across the street was super helpful for all the food and drink items...no pre-packing needed. Beautiful old victorian, very clean, and all the amenities were there. We will definitely return!

We visited best friends and family. Attended our old church, Jacksonville Presbyterian. Went to the new Jacksonville Inn Restaurant and enjoy Pony Expresso and Food Bean. We had a family event at a winery in the Applegate Valley. Thank you we love the charm and feel of your beautiful historical home.

Amazing Historical Home
This house was probably the best short term rental I've ever stayed in. It was the best blend of old and new. There are three bedtime, each with it's own bathroom. The bath attached to the bedroom on the first door has only a tub and not a shower but there's also a separate little bath with a shower on the first floor. The host Aldi had a very nice outdoor eating area and porch. The location is very close to downtown, within easy waking distance. We had a fabulous time visiting the area.

Great house
Well appointed, comfortable beds, large welcoming outdoor space and great location. Unfortunately there was construction happening in a property behind the house so it wasnt pleasant out there until they left around 4pm. An issue about Jacksonville now is rentals cannot offer recycling!!! Because that matters to us we brought home bittkes and newspapers.

Great location lovely grounds
My girlfriends & I drove over from the coast to explore the Applegate lavender fields & enjoy quaint Jacksonville. The house was in a good location, clean & well equipped. We did have a little challenge with learning how to work the air conditioning so a guide would’ve been helpful & a place to provide for recycling. Thanks for sharing this lovely property - The CC poker gals
