What better time to remodel a large single-family house into a lodging house than when you are forced to stay home during 2020's coronavirus stay-at-home period? I have to give the biggest applause to my talented and hardworking family for helping make our vision a reality. Together, we were able to bring out the beauty and charm in this historic brick house. Renovating not only restores the house, but restores the story of the home and neighborhood. We are so blessed to be able to give back to a community that has given so much to us. If you need a vacation from your home, please enjoy our labor of love and book your stay at the DRIFTLESS MANOR GETAWAY! I look forward to hosting you.
