This home is lovely and very conveniently located to downtown Virginia City. It was absolutely perfect for our stay. The home is historic, but has all of the modern touches. It is very clean and impeccably maintained. We regretted not booking it for longer. The owners are very sweet. We will definitely be back.

This house is exquisite, so much historical character and charm with all the modern amenities. The beds were cozy and everyone slept like a baby. The kitchen was well appointed for our simple needs. We were able to walk to lunch, morning coffee, and our paranormal tour all within minutes from the very central and convenient location.
