Cozy, Artsy Gem in Historic Pullman

Our house, located in Historic Pullman (National Monument), was built in 1881 by industrialist and creator of the Pullman sleeping car, George Pullman. While the interior is tastefully rehabbed, the exterior and community have the same charm of the late 1800s. If you love art, our home showcases art from local artists. Neighbors are friendly, the community is quiet and loaded with history. We will greet guests. Our home is a getaway ....for out-of-town travelers!! Our home is cozy and inviting. The rooms are airy with each one having an eclectic assortment of artwork. My husband and I live in the community and will respond to questions/concerns within an hour.
