Fantastic accommodations! Host Glenn Odegard provided simple to follow directions as well as house rules. All of the amenities needed for our stay were provided. Also, so close to the local activities, all within a short walk. My family and I had such a wonderful time! Definitely recommend staying at the Riordan house!

This was our third stay at the Riordan House and as usual, we had a wonderful time. The weather was perfect, so the gorgeous patio was used most of the weekend. Beds were comfy and the house has all the supplies needed for a weekend away. Looking forward to future stays!

We could not have asked for a better place to stay. The owner provided every detail needed to ensure that we had a good experience and communicated excellently. The house was clean and well stocked. We spent the whole morning on the deck watching the sun rise and drinking coffee. Do heed his advice and dont bring a large vehicle. The roads are very narrow and the parking space handled our Buick Enclave but anything longer would have had an issue fitting. I highly recommend this property.

Love Jerome the accommodations were excellent. The road is a little risky getting to the house but once we figured it out, we were fine great views enjoyed our stay.

Location has unbelievable views of the entire valley. The house is clean and very well furnished and tells the story of the house very well. The outside deck was great to watch the sunrise/sunset and the lightning in the distance. The only challenge is getting to the location. Tight turns and narrow road but not made for a larger vehicle like a truck.

Even better than expected
Dealing with Glenn was super easy, and definitely follow his instructions on driving in as the road is narrow with no room to turn around. As you walk in the place immediately gives you vibes of great history and how they lived back in 1898. The outside was patio and deck areas were amazing with views worth every penny. When I realized there was no TV in the place I got a little worried with teenagers, but the place was so amazing with such amazing outside amenities the kids didn’t even want to be inside. Would definitely stay again and refer this place to others. Thank you for restoring this piece of history and sharing it with us.

Awesome place! Location was great - beautiful walk down to the main streets. The house was a very cool experience with so much of it true to its history. The drive up to the house was intimidating the first time but we got the hang of it!

Spectacular view
We enjoyed our one night stay here. Great view of Jerome and surrounding landscape, all amenities were as advertised except for “gym”…. There is definitely no gym.
