This home was absolutely perfect for what we wanted to do for our Mother's Day family reunion. We had 3 generations under the same roof. It was wonderful because the home has so many different rooms and sitting areas. The adults loved sitting on the porch, and the kids loved looking at all the antiques. Since there were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, everyone had their privacy and their own space when needed. The proximity to the river and downtown allowed us to walk to a playground for the kids, and the adults enjoyed looking at the beautiful historic homes around the area.

We had a wonderful stay at Tate’s place. He was incredibly kind, helpful, and always available if we had any questions. The house itself is spacious, comfortable, and very well equipped—especially the kitchen, which had everything we needed. One of the highlights of our stay was learning that the house is historical, and we even had the opportunity to enjoy a tour with Tate, which made the experience even more special and meaningful. We truly appreciated his hospitality and would definitely recommend staying here! The Ironwood Pathfinders 🙏🏻🤍
