We have stayed here twice and absolutely love the house. Very comfortable, clean, plenty of bedding, linens, appliances and seating for large groups. Beds are very comfortable. 100% recommend!
We have previously stayed at this home. Such a quiet neighborhood and relaxing accommodations. We will stay here again.

Thank you for being a repeat guest with us, Diane. So happy you feel comfortable and relaxed at Chariton Homeplace. We would love to host you again next time you are in southern Iowa!
We enjoyed the property! We were really only there to sleep-because of the reason we were in the area-but it was a great location, clean, cozy and had all that we needed!
The property was inviting and comfortable. Very clean, beds were comfortable, nice towels. It was perfect for us. Conveniently located centrally in Chariton.

So happy you snd your family found the house comfortable for your weekend visit to attend the races in Knoxville! We hope you return!
We appreciated having a place to stay that was comfortable, clean, and allowed us to cook meals and unwind during a stressful and busy couple of days. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood in the evenings. Will most certainly stay here again when in the area. Thank you!
Property owner very responsive to questions and concerns. Easy check in and check out at this property.
