About this property
Steps from Main St. / Stay Cozy Next to our Electric Fireplace
This 2-bedroom, 1-bath main floor unit offers contemporary comfort within a historic, 19th century gem. Located less than a block from downtown Savanna's Main St. -- and the mighty Mississippi River within eyesight -- restaurants, bars, shops, and entertainment are just steps away. Amenity highlights include: galley-style 3-season room, fully equipped and stocked kitchen, central air, WiFi, washer/dryer, smart TV w/classic Nintendo (that's right, old school Mario), and more.
THE SPACE:
This newly renovated, newly listed unit features two large, tastefully decorated bedrooms -- one with a king size bed, the other with a queen and twin rollaway (available upon request). The fully equipped and stocked kitchen has a dishwasher, stove/oven, toaster, Keurig coffee maker, kitchenware, and countertop seating. Washer and dryer is in-unit for your convenience. Good size bathroom has one shower (no tub). The living room features seating and a smart TV with a classic Nintendo system loaded with hundreds of old-school games from your past. The dining room consists of a dining table and bar. A built-in work station is located in the main hallway. A classic galley-style 3-season room is attached to the unit (please note, you need to exit the front door to access the room). Easy street parking is abundant. Cleanliness is our highest priority, including special attention to high-touch areas, washing of all bedding between guests, and recurrent UV light treatment of furniture and other surfaces.
Book longer and save! Our unit is perfect for long-term stays, and we offer progressive discounts for week-long and monthly stays.
GUEST ACCESS:
Street parking is generally extremely easy; usually guests can park right in front of the house.
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
Savanna is located in beautiful, rural Illinois on the banks of the Mississippi River -- with the beauty of the landscape comes wildlife, even in-town. Don't be surprised if you encounter bugs, deer, bats, stray cats, snakes, and more.
Working with our area partners, guests can arrange to have flowers and/or baby essentials (e.g. cribs, strollers, toys, etc.) delivered to the property prior to arrival.
