Cascade House has all the charm you could ask for in a historic house, and all the updates you need to stay cozy and comfortable. With a fireplace, office, and plenty of living space, you may never want to go out. But if you decide to venture out, Cascade House is just blocks from shops and restaurants in historic downtown Osceola, and minutes from hiking at national and state parks, kayaking, canoeing, skiing and ropes courses, and even ATV/Snowmobile trails. The space With beautiful original details from floor to ceiling, and stories for the ages (you'll have to come stay with us to hear why every light fixture is missing just one sconce), Cascade House welcomes its guests with old-fashioned warmth. It has plenty of space to gather for meals and group activities, as well as nooks and crannies for more private rest and relaxation. We love how the kitchen and bathrooms have been updated, so that the home maintains its historic charm, without creating unnecessary inconvenience. It's a perfect place for a gathering of friends or family, even those spanning several generations. Work Remotely: With a mesh network and several work stations, working remotely should be a breeze. We've made sure to include power strips near our desks to allow for charging multiple devices. Accessibility: The home was built in the 1890s, which means that the doors are not wide enough for most wheelchairs, and the floors are not entirely level. There are four steps to get into the house, but there is a bedroom and bath on the main floor to help accommodate guests of all ages and abilities. You should expect the quirks that come with age, including creaky, uneven floorboards in places. The upstairs bathroom showerhead is low to accommodate a slanted ceiling. We've placed eye-hook locks on the bedroom and bathroom doors because the age of the doors prevents the door handles from locking properly. Much of the wiring has been updated, and many light switches are labeled with switches by doorways, but because gas lighting was still in use when the house was built you may need to have an adventurous spirit and a dose of curiosity to find the power you're looking for. Heating/Cooling: In winter, Cascade House stays warm and cozy thanks to radiant heat and the natural gas fireplace. In summer, it is cooled with A/C units (2 upstairs, 1 downstairs), and ceiling fans. Parking: Cascade House has a wide drive-way with free, off-the-street parking for up to 3 vehicles. Guest access There is lots of street parking, as well as a large drive-way to accommodate multiple vehicles. The house is within walking distance to the historic downtown shops and restaurants, as well as trailheads at Cascade Falls. Hikes and more are just a short drive away. Other things to note There is one spot on the stairs where you can bump your head on the banister above. It's only a problem if you're tall, and walk too close to the wall—the troublesome piece only sticks out about 3 inches.
