Great Location/Charming House

Great location with easy access to the downtown. The house was clean and well-appointed. We were in town over a long weekend for a wedding and the house was perfect for our group of 3 adults and 3 kids.

Great Experience

We loved the Mason House. It was better than expected, and we expected it to be great! Roomy, inviting, clean, and accomodating. The host was gracious and was quick to respond to any questions we had. I would highly recommend this property.

Christmas in Wilmington

Our daughter had to work and couldn't make it home for the holiday, so we went to her. The house was perfect for our plans - lots of eating, watching TV and board game playing ;) The house has a beautiful and charming interior, is spacious and well-appointed and the amenities top notch. The kitchen was a joy to cook in, the sofa in the TV viewing area was comfortable, the size of the TV was perfect scale for that space and the dining table was the perfect size for playing board games. The neighborhood is historic and quiet - just what we were looking for. A very nice Christmas in a lovely home :)

Guys trip

Group of us guys get together every year and go somewhere, unfortunately this year I got hurt, no fault to anyone or anything. But what a vibrant town. Great food and venues would like to see more vegetarian options. The Mason house is as depicted. Loved the front porch rocking chairs. Neighbors are friendly, as is the town. Only downside is parking downtown and traffic cameras. Definitely will come back.

Lovely property and responsive property manager

The size, layout and bedroom/bed configuration worked well for my group of friends in town for an athletic event. The needs of individuals can be quite different from family needs and this house proved to be the perfect solution. It was nice to be able to hang out at the house to relax, make meals or to work. The WIFI seemed to be adequate for those working, which was a bonus. The convention center was within walking distance, as well as the downtown area. This was the reason why we chose this place and we were happy. Our only hiccup was the thermostat/heat for the house. It seems that they recently installed a NEST device where the guest doesn't have access to full control, but this was remedied within the day. It would have been nice to have written instructions on use and what to do. The kitchen isn't the most equipped for "full on" cooking, which is something that we did and may not be important for many. I've booked other houses that were better and worse. Lydia was great - she was responsive to our needs. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Perfect In Every Way!

Eye opener for sure. Just as listed ...with every amenity needed. My other house guests just adored this house. They wanted to live there...forever. Me too! The house was beautiful, but my niece in her wedding dress stole the show for the weekend. Many thanks for all of the great memories!

Great stay

My family took a weekend trip to Wilmington to enjoy the downtown area. The house was very clean and spacious. It’s a historic house with many nice updates to provide comfort. It had everything we needed and was in a great location. There’s also many local eats and stores that are excellent. We would definitely return and stay at the Mason House again.
