Charming, Historic Gem in the Perfect LocationWe had a wonderful stay in this beautiful historic home. It’s been lovingly maintained with period-accurate decor that gives it so much character, while still offering all the modern conveniences you could need. Everything was spotless, the beds were very comfortable, and the location couldn’t be better—a grocery store just across the street made things super convenient. The gardens are absolutely bucolic, with several cozy spots to sit and relax outside. A truly quaint and peaceful escape. Highly recommended!
Wow!! What a magical place. We had such a nice relaxing time and enjoyed the house completely. The deer hanging out in the backyard, the beautiful landscaping, the antique furnishings, all so amazing. We hope to be back soon!!
Beautiful home, very clean and the location was perfect. It was close to downtown and across the street from a grocery store but it was very private and quiet. We had deer visit us in the back yard! I had a couple questions and the host got back to me very quickly. There were 6 adults and it was perfect in sleeping/eating/visiting spaces. Beautiful outdoor space as well. Strongly recommend
We invited 3 long time couple friends to come visit us in Jacksonville. They stayed in the BF Dowell House and loved it. They wanted to make sure I left a good review because they were so impressed with how clean and well organized it was. They yard was so lovely too. We definitely recommend it!!
The BF Dowell Home was charming with very unique architecture and beautiful landscaped gardens! There were daily sightings of deer to entertain us! Plenty of outside space and places to relax! Jacksonville was a beautiful small town and we could walk to most of the places we wanted to visit! Walking trails were close by as well as numerous wineries!
We had a wonderful weekend in Jacksonville with family wine tasting throughout Jacksonville. The location of the property is ideal, walking distance to downtown, coffee, and Back Porch BBQ.
The market across the street was super helpful for all the food and drink items...no pre-packing needed.
Beautiful old victorian, very clean, and all the amenities were there. We will definitely return!
We visited best friends and family. Attended our old church, Jacksonville Presbyterian. Went to the new Jacksonville Inn Restaurant and enjoy Pony Expresso and Food Bean. We had a family event at a winery in the Applegate Valley. Thank you we love the charm and feel of your beautiful historical home.
Quaint two night stay to visit family in the area. Home was period decorated with colorful wall coverings and fixtures. This home also had all the comforts of home, equipped kitchen, games and great porch. Would love to visit again in the summer. Walking to town for dinner and coffe was very easy. Drove and hiked nearby forest park. Great getaway.
This house was probably the best short term rental I've ever stayed in. It was the best blend of old and new. There are three bedtime, each with it's own bathroom. The bath attached to the bedroom on the first door has only a tub and not a shower but there's also a separate little bath with a shower on the first floor. The host Aldi had a very nice outdoor eating area and porch. The location is very close to downtown, within easy waking distance. We had a fabulous time visiting the area.
Well appointed, comfortable beds, large welcoming outdoor space and great location. Unfortunately there was construction happening in a property behind the house so it wasnt pleasant out there until they left around 4pm. An issue about Jacksonville now is rentals cannot offer recycling!!! Because that matters to us we brought home bittkes and newspapers.
My friends and I really enjoyed our stay at this lovely property. The grounds are beautiful with daily deer visits. Rooms were spacious and well-appointed. Glad the host included the history of the property. For such a large house the AC was more than adequate for the high 80s/low 90s temps we had. Would definitely stay here again.
Rented this house for a girls get away. This gorgeous house is in the perfect location with all the amenities. The outside grounds are beautiful and it was such a treat to have deer visit us every morning and evening while relaxing in the backyard. The host was very responsive and helpful. We will definitely be back!
This is our second stay at the B.F. Dowell House.... which really tells you everything! It is simply vacation perfection. The house and grounds are simply wonderful. The house is immaculate. The decorations are appropriate the historical era of the home, while also being and beautiful and comfortable. The location could not be better. Well within walking distance of everything Jacksonville has to offer. Relaxing mornings and evenings spent laughing in the garden were even further enhanced by deer and turkey family units meandering through. We have already booked our next stay and cannot wait. Deanne was wonderful to work with. You cannot go wrong with this home!
We were in Jacksonville visiting family and were lucky enough to find this home. It is absolutely gorgeous and fully stocked with everything you need to feel at home. I would love to stay for a month and just read books, take naps, and cook nice meals. Will definitely return.
