This charming home is comfy and cozy, while still quite spacious. Owners are very friendly and helpful, and handled questions promptly. The convenience of being close to downtown was great, and we could easily walk to shops in the area.

This is a beautiful property. They have done a lovely job of preserving the history and modernizing it all at the same time. Anne and Harley made everything very easy and were willing to work with us when there was bad weather. We greatly enjoyed our stay and look forward to our next visit!! Thank you.

Quaint Historic Home

We loved staying in this old historic home and learning about the history of it. Everything was as listed under the description. It was beautiful and very comfortable! We could walk to the downtown area for restaurants and coffee shops!

History preserved

This lovely 1870s home has been masterfully preserved and I was even able to hear quite a bit about the homes history which is so much fun! The house is spacious offering all the comforts necessary to really rest and relax but also 23 minutes from The shrine of the Grotto of the redemption if you're looking for adventure. The hosts were some of the kindest folks, most accommodating!

About the host

My husband and I love historic houses and enjoyed updating the Swetting house. We travel and enjoy staying in VBROs along the way.

Why they chose this property

Thorington was once the Main St in Algona and then became the “sulk stocking” street where all the wealthy homes were build. It is one of the most enjoyable streets to walk in Algona.
