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.
Great property with only one exception. The process to lock and unlock the door needs to be upgraded. The only way to access or egress the home is by touchpad. However, using the touchpad is extremely frustrating. That is, it often took numerous attempts to unlock or lock the door. If I were the owner, I would worry that unconscientious guests might become so frustrated that they would leave the house unlocked.
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!
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!
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!!
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.
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!
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.
Two minor problems: upstairs in the north bathroom the door knob needs repair to upstairs in the south bathroom supply to the toilet tank needs attention
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.
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.
My husband and I stayed with 2 other couples. Accommodations were very nice. Enjoyed the backyard. And walked to the Britt. Will definitely stay there again.
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.
We met in Jacksonville with high school friends from CA. The house and gardens were so beautiful and peaceful.
Everything was so lovely. We would certainly visit again
My girlfriends & I drove over from the coast to explore the Applegate lavender fields & enjoy quaint Jacksonville. The house was in a good location, clean & well equipped. We did have a little challenge with learning how to work the air conditioning so a guide wouldâve been helpful & a place to provide for recycling. Thanks for sharing this lovely property - The CC poker gals
A beautiful home with the perfect location! This is our second visit, and we hope to stay again! Deanna was a wonderful host, and very responsive to all of our needs! Thank you!
