1870 House

"We stayed at 1870 House for Father's Day last year and it was such a wonderful experience. We were able to have a family weekend with all our children and everybody had their own room! We spent time in the gorgeous garden in the backyard, grilled on the deck and ate dinner downtown in one of the new restaurants that had just opened up a few weeks earlier. 1870 House had generously donated a weekend for a Silent Auction item supporting the Dowagiac Marching Band. I appreciated the opportunity to support the band and experience their wonderful accommodations. I look forward to visiting them again"

"I stayed at the 1870 house for a week, and it's as charming and spacious as the pictures suggest! If you love old homes with character and style, you'll love this place. The details were stunning. I had to work all week and really appreciated the many, many options for a suitable office. Lots of quiet, private spots to set up camp, most with backgrounds that were A++ on my Zoom calls. :) The bedding was cozy, lots of great free streaming options on the giant TV, and the backyard view was a real respite in the middle of my workday. The hosts were AMAZING. The most respectful, conscientious, responsive, and communicative of any I've ever encountered on Airbnb or otherwise. They were down to give us our own space but also extremely gracious, sharing recommendations for the area, leaving us welcome treats and even asking about any dietary restrictions. Just couldn't ask for kinder, more professional, lovely people. The house location was convenient to lots of great outdoorsy spots, easy shopping, and recreation--Chicago was a quick 2-hour-drive away! All in all, 10/10, can't recommend this place enough. Have fun!"

"The 1870 house is beautiful! We stayed for a little over a week in May. We were greeted with cake and flowers our first night, and our hosts were super responsive, kind, and friendly the entire time. A couple unforeseen issues came up during our stay, and they worked around our schedules to resolve them. They were attentive and happy to give us space and privacy when we wanted. There's plenty of space with fast internet, so we never had to worry about connectivity even with multiple people on video during the day. The hosts are the very definition of midwestern friendly!"

"We spent a whole week at 1870 House. The home is charming, and beautiful. All of the beds were brand new and super comfy which was great to rest after our busy days adventuring. We enjoyed the game area which was fun to have drinks and play shuffle board on the day it rained. We went in fall, the colors were spectacular and the weather was perfect. We went apple picking nearby and also had a chance to check out some of the vineyards and wineries. The hosts of 1870 House did not disappoint! All the special touches made our trip memorable, and we can't wait to book our next outing and stay again."

"I stayed at 1870 House for an extended weekend. My stay was nothing short of perfect. I work remotely, so having the space to work (with solid Wifi), get things done, but also still be able to cook and relax with my friends was a huge reason I selected this house. Each morning, we were able to wake up, walk less than 3 min to get a coffee at the local coffee shop, or a snack at one of the restaurants for lunch. The hosts were quite possibly the nicest I have had in my travels around the country. They live close, so they met me upon arrival, and were able to answer (quickly) any questions I had during my stay. Given that I live less than 2 hours away, there is no question I will be back. Five Stars all around. Thanks, Zena and Richard!"
