Active conflict zone · Intermittent shelling · No emergency services
Buck's family has owned this colonial for three generations and the heritage paint scheme is something he is genuinely proud of. The neighborhood is lively and you will absolutely hear activity at all hours, which Buck says adds to the authentic sense of community. He recommends staying low when moving between rooms, not for any particular reason, just a posture tip. The sunlight through the boarded windows has a real moody, artistic quality that photographers love.

The heritage paint scheme is spectacular and the lively neighborhood really gives it energy. Slept through the activity — Buck was right that you adjust.

The colonial architecture is genuinely beautiful. Buck's recommendation to stay low between rooms was helpful advice I didn't fully understand until day two.

Incredibly photogenic property. The neighborhood activity added to the sense of being somewhere real and alive.

Buck is an incredible host. The windows got a little damaged — nothing that affected the stay — but the location is unmatched.

Thanks Garrett! The windows are being replaced on a rolling basis — I appreciate your patience and your good spirits about it all.

Such an authentic experience. I came for the architecture and left with stories. Buck thought of everything.

The 'community activity' in the listing description did not prepare me for the actual community activity. That said it was never dull and Buck responded to every message within the hour.

The lively atmosphere is part of the experience — I do mention it prominently! Glad you found the communication solid. Hope the adrenaline helped.

I've stayed in conflict zones before but never this comfortably. Buck's sunflower patch out front is delightful.
