Two families combined with 3 adults and 2 teens had a comfortable 3-night stay. Didn't try the sleeper sofa. Brought an air mattress instead. It's an old structure; naturally some features aren't up to modern code - mostly the staircase and overhead clearance on the staircase. So perhaps not ideal for elderly or if you have limited mobility.But it checks all the boxes for our needs... a/c worked well (cooling and heating), water temp and pressure, kitchen appliances, washer and dryer, room and space. Love the little cafe next door. Hoping to branch out to the nearby restaurant next time. My 1st VRBO experience so no baseline for comparison but host communication couldn't have been easier, which was a relief.Fantastic value. Worked way better than a hotel in Danville. And way more affordable than Danville house options. We'll be back.

Hidden gem! SUPER CLEAN! Very cool the way the owners have renovated this 185 year old building from a general store to a comfortable place to get some R&R. I really appreciate the warning about the stairs leading to the rooms. Having mobility issues and booking homes can be aggravating, you spend hours research your trip ( where to stay, eat, mode of transport, activities , etc ) only to find out that the property is difficult to manage moving about the rooms.

The house was in a great location. I will say the split systems required to cool the bedrooms were very noisy. The other thing that I didn't realize is that the house is just open to the basement - there's no door. That may not bother some, but it was a little odd for me, coming from an area that doesn't even have basements.

A true historic gem in a beautiful area of Kentucky! The cottage is spacious, well appointed, and was immaculately clean on our arrival. We stayed five nights and enjoyed the property immensely. But what the website cannot convey is the sheer sense of history you experience by staying in this wonderful place. Merchants Row, where the cottage is situated, is largely unchanged from its 1840s origins. The house across the road had a cannonball through its window during the Civil War, another building was where the town doctor treated soldiers wounded in the nearby battle of Perryville in 1862 (the battlefield site just a few miles from town is well worth a visit). You can really soak in the history and ambience of that era here. I cannot rate this property, and our experience, highly enough. Jon is an outstanding host, knowledgeable and communicative, and if you are even just thinking about booking here, go ahead and do it. Everything simply exceeded our expectations.

BOURBON TRAIL VACATION

This property provided us a unique place to call home during our initial bourbon trail experience. The history of the building as a store was a great talking point with friends and family. The unit was clean and met or exceeded our expectations. Although the stairs were a challenge, we navigated them without issue. Would definitely stay there again if in the area.

Perfect get away

My sisters and I visited Perryville to explore the history associated with the Civil War. We fell in love with Kentucky. We even visited a nearby winery. Our accomodations were so very nice and comfortable. Our hosts answered all our questions promptly. We would love to revisit in the future and would definitely want to stay on Merchants Row.

We came for a wedding nearby and to celebrate my mother's Birthday. This property was excellent, great location with wonderful shops all within walking distance. The charm of the home was what made this a great stay. Perryville is a quaint community filled with wonderful people that is well worth a visit. No other property could offer the experience that we had.

I highly recommend a stay at the Historical Haven. The property has historical charm with all the amenties of home. Communication with the hosts was prompt and friendly. They went above and beyond with recommendations of things to do in the area. The town is charming, we enjoyed exploring local shops, restaurants, and participating in local events.
