We had a wonderful time here, it was quiet and an easy walk to restaurants around the area. You can occasionally hear people talking and moving around in the communal area but it was not disturbing and felt very friendly. Would book again

Wonderful host
We had a wonderful stay! The weather had gotten bad and i got drenched. The owner was kind enough to allow me to come in early and freshen up. The house was wonderfully quite even tho it was completely booked that night. Everything you need is there.

The property was exceptional, but the noise from the other guests kept me awake until 3 am. The guests were very loud and disrespectful. They have pretty much completely disrupted my night sleep and the overall stay. Although I liked the property I am very disappointed with the experience.

Highly recommend!
Another wonderful stay at The 1890 Freeman House. We stayed in the Stuttgart room. It was absolutely fabulous. The room was very clean and the bathroom was spacious. The whole property was very quiet and peaceful. It was such a nice experience. Thank you so much. Highly recommend!
