About this property

Stay at the Pre-Civil war home of the Ulysses S. Grant, 18th President of the United States

  • Stay in the home of one of America's most beloved Presidents, Ulysses S Grant. His pre-civil war home has been fully restored to its 1800's splendor with a convincing blend of historic era pieces and discretely disguised modern conveniences. It's a perfect mix of history and luxury. Just 3 blocks from the historic downtown.

    "Beyond the beauty and history of the house itself, the hosts are the kindest and most thoughtful we've encountered. They went out of their way to make the experience memorable and we're deeply appreciative. We recommend The Grant House highly." Stephen
