About the Vacation Rental Unit:

Enjoy a stay that pairs the spacious Main House with the privacy of the Coy Dunson apartment, both located at the historic Childress House. This combined reservation includes a four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence accommodating seven guests and a separate one-bedroom, one-bath apartment accommodating four guests. Together, the two spaces offer five bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, and sleeping arrangements for up to 11 guests.

Built in 1847, the Childress House was once owned by Major John Childress, brother of First Lady Sarah Childress Polk, wife of President James K. Polk. Sarah Polk was known to visit the home. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the property carries nearly 180 years of local history. Portions of the home were converted into apartments during the 1930s, continuing its long residential story.

The Main House uses the home's front entrance, while the Coy Dunson apartment is accessed through a separate side entrance. Detailed arrival and entry instructions for both accommodations will be provided before your stay.
