Experience the charm of yesteryears with a stay in our beautifully restored 1862 Red House, nestled in the heart of Monticello's historical business district. If you're a history enthusiast or simply looking for a unique getaway, this is the perfect place for you.
Please note: The historic building is also home to a speakeasy style tavern.
The basement has been transformed into a speakeasy-style tavern located at the back of the building with its own entrance. The speakeasy’s normal operating hours are from 3 PM to 10 PM.
While precautions have been taken to soundproof the space, some noise may occasionally be heard from the first floor living room area, depending on the evening’s activity in the tavern. We want to ensure you have a delightful stay and appreciate your understanding of this unique feature.
The space
The Red House features a full kitchen, a combined dining and living room, and a half bath on the first floor.
Take the Grand Staircase up to the second floor which features two bedrooms, a full bathroom and a second living space that can be used as a bedroom area.
Bedroom 1 features a king size bed and a sitting area.
Bedroom 2 has a queen size bed and a desk.
The bedroom area just outside of the bathroom has a fold out full size bed for extra sleeping.
The full bathroom features a vanity, walk in shower, toilet and heated floors.
The third bedroom is located in the Loft and has two twin beds. Please use caution while using or letting children use the loft steps, They are steep and could be dangerous if safety rails aren't used properly.
Guest access
Guests have access to all spaces accessible from the front door. The rear entrance is not part of the space and not accessible to the space.
Other things to note
Pets- The Red House is dog friendly for one dog with an extra cleaning fee. (Dogs must be house trained and under 50 pounds.) Dogs are not allowed on the furniture or allowed to sleep in the beds. Any damages as a result of the dog will be billed to you. Clean up after your dog in the yard. Monticello requires dogs to be on a leash when walking
