Other things to note The house is in a mixed residential and commercial neighborhood in Wooster so there can be traffic noise during work hours and noise from shops and bars on Bowman street. The quietest bedrooms are the rooms in the back of the house. This is a Victorian house with some fixtures and furnishings from the period which may make the house less conducive to elderly guests or toddlers. We have one bedroom and attached full bathroom on the main floor but all other bedrooms are on the 2nd floor accessible only via a staircase, which may not be accessible for some guests. It is a 10 min walk to the College of Wooster and a 4 min drive or 20 minute walk to to downtown coffee/restaurants/shops. Twenty minute drive to Amish country and Vulture’s Knob mountain bike trails.
