One of few homes permitted to legally host short-term in Stillwater. The William Frick House is in the National Register of Historic Places -- one of the best remaining examples of turn of the century Victorian style cottages in this area. Original architecture remains, but an addition, adds plenty of space. One block from the public library, two blocks from a public park with splash pad, and nine blocks from OSU in the heart of the original Stillwater residential area. The house was built at the turn of the century by William Frick, owner of Stillwater's first feed store, the Frick House is one of the best remaining examples of turn of the century Victorian style cottages. It is a single-story cottage. Carpenter gothic trim and octagon cut fish-scale shingles decorate the gables. A curving porch extends the width of the front of the house. The porch is enhanced with turned posts, with supporting brackets and spindle bands under the eaves. We’ll be working to re-create the turned railing posts that originally surrounded the porch. The peak of the house is accented by a dormer with small ventilating window cut in a quatrefoil pattern and additional scrollwork. The original section of the house, consisting of four rooms at the front of the house, has undergone very minimal alteration. Original wood paneling and some fixtures have been retained. The ceilings-have been lowered. An addition that contains a large living area two bedrooms and a full bath was added to the back of the house to comprise nearly 1800 square feet of living space. The house can sleep up to a very crowded 10 people the way we plan to furnish it initially; but that’s counting two in each double bed, two in the sofa bed, two on an air mattress, and one on a roll-away. With only two bathrooms, you'd need to be a pretty close family for that many to share. All occupants should be included in the reservation There's also cable HD television and unlimited WiFi Internet service There is off-street paved parking for five medium-sized cars in the driveway (nose to tail, blocking each other in) and abundant street parking for others. You can check yourself in with a code of your choice. We try to stay out of your way and let you enjoy your home away from home; but we're usually available throughout your stay to answer any questions and address concerns. This house is part of the original Stillwater residential area and is surrounded by other single-family homes. It's close to downtown, but still just a few minutes drive to the OSU campus. You can walk to the restaurants and bars in downtown or drive to almost anywhere in Stillwater in 10 minutes or less. If you have the kids along, you can see the public library with its many free public activities from the front porch, or walk two blocks in the other direction to the Southern Woods Park, playground, and splashpad; all of which is free to the public. OSU runs a campus and community bus system, although most guests will choose to drive, or take Uber for further destinations. AirBnB collects state and city sales and lodging taxes as is required of all short-term rentals.
