old houses made new again
GUEST REVIEWS
ABOUT
Our passion is bringing old houses back to life and providing historic vacation homes in our Rochester NY airbnbs. We see the beauty in the details of vintage properties and enjoy returning them to their original state but realize that today's lifestyles have different needs than when these houses were built. So we strive to connect the old with the new and maintain original character while adding modern conveniences. Natural woodwork, stained glass windows, original cabinetry are all worth preserving. Modern kitchens and baths can be a natural extension to this, to enhance your experience.
