The Davis House is absolutely amazing! We booked this house for our recent trip up to Illinois from Arizona, and we wanted something that was amazing. To say The Davis House is amazing is like saying the sun is bright. Actually, it’s not just amazing, it’s a must-see!
We were expecting a comfortable place to live for a week while visiting family. What we got was so much more. It is a traditional historic house, built a long time ago and renovated and decorated with serious skill. It is warm and friendly, and I need to tell you this… you will need time to explore, observe, and enjoy all that is available with this amazing home!
The deco is amazing! Everywhere you look, you have to take a minute to enjoy it. The back patio is PERFECT! Allowing you to be a great distance from the quiet street and to enjoy your own special space away from it all.
Inside, you get treated with amazing wall art that literally takes you around the world. There are so many places to sit, enjoy your morning coffee, and enjoy the ambience of the room. A library room, rooms with windows everywhere, both upstairs and downstairs. There are so many places to enjoy in this wonderful house. Again, you cannot book this place for a few days. You need AT LEAST a week, probably two to fully enjoy it.
Our favorite places were the upstairs room off of the master bedroom, CERTAINLY the magnificent front porch, and the kitchen! OH MY GOD that kitchen!! I am a tech guy that works on technology 24/7, and I did not hardly have an urge to setup my gear and go to work. I just couldn’t! The place was so welcoming and comfortable! I just spent my time wandering around and taking it all in!
The kitchen has an incredible stove, an amazing in-wall cabinet for dinnerware and other items, LIGHTED! And so well done! The kitchen sink and stove has plumbing features you will wish you had at home. All with a room with an array of windows that blast the room with sunlight. It was a blessing of experience!
The bathroom off of the upstairs bedroom. The shower is incredible, with multiple shower head options and a lot of room to just be happy getting clean. The separate tub and the plumbing fixtures supporting it are something out of Better Homes and Garden. And the sink? And the skylight pane in the room? WOW!
The front yard is like a court yard, and you could spend all day exploring it..
And if you get a chance, DEFINITELY check out the neighborhood! Enjoy! We sure did. And we will again. Thanks!
