We stayed at the 1890 Freeman House for one night before leaving on a cruise. The house was very nice and well maintained. It was within walking distance from several bars and restaurants in the historic area. The hospitality was amazing and made you feel like you were staying with friends. We look forward to our next visit.

Great place. The bathroom was extremely small and the shower was cramped and that wasn’t the best but otherwise the place wasn’t bad

The 1890 Freeman House is a beautifully updated, elegant house. Our room had everything we needed and we had access to a fully stocked kitchen with coffee and tea service. Shannon was incredibly easy to work with and responded immediately to messsages. Her mom, Jan, is a treasure! We will stay with them again for sure!
