StaceyI can’t say enough about this place! From the time we arrived until we said our final goodbye, Adeline’s House of Cool was a marvel of fascinating things to see and do. Brian was very responsive and took care of any need we had throughout our stay. A few things to know before you go that are not in the listing detail is the fact that you will have to pay extra to use the bar cooler and the laundry room. No big deal but wanted to relay that to others. Bring your own towels and wash cloths but everything else is provided. We never got bored and spent several days just hanging out and discovering all the neat things in and around the house. Bring LOTS of quarters to play pool, the jukebox, slots and pinball. The jukebox was fantastic! Very quiet place. Leo and Tom were also kind and helpful. When we had to leave it was so sad. It really felt like home and no one wanted to leave. Thank you Adeline’s House of Cool and Brian for making our vacation one to remember!Posted on Airbnb
AshleeThis place was amazing. If I could give it six stars, I would. There is so much to do here. Six couples came up and spent four days there and had so much fun. The indoor activities,the outdoor activities, the bar, the pool, the pool table, the horses, the fireman pole the list goes on. I think my favorite part was having a fire inside in the large fireplace. All the games are so cool. There are phones throughout the house that we pranked each other with all the time. We had a murder mystery game made about us friends and the place really set the mood. If you haven’t booked this place, you should because we will be doing this again. I also really thought that Brian has put so much time into this home to make it as cool as it really is. Something like Tim Burton would make. We will be back.Posted on Airbnb
JessicaThis place was magic for not only us, but our small children as well. I taught them a few songs on the piano and now we have one that wants to take piano lessons! That's a win in my book! The hot tub was a HIT!!!! The kids used it morning, noon, and night. We asked for the temp to be turned down and it was promptly addressed. I thoroughly enjoyed the fireplace, even made smores! The kids would all snuggle around it and relax as well. The grounds are magical and the wraparound porch looks like heaven. Had it been summer I could see us sleeping on the swings. Check in was super easy and Tom met us shortly after arriving. Showed us around, gave us all the tips and tricks, and even made us a fire. Brian the owner checked in on us multiple times a day ready to answer any questions we may have. It was an amazing trip. Kids are already asking to go back in summer!Posted on Airbnb
MaggieAdeline's House of Cool is wonderland for all things fun, silly, quirky, and unique! This lovely home was beautiful inside and out. Plenty of room for our group to have space from each other and also be together. We built fires often, played games at the bar, and relaxed our weary selves in the luxurious hot tub. The slot machine was fun to play! Wish the pool table & pinball were cheaper (or free). We also had random happenings like tree trimmers showing up early one morning and someone coming by on the 2nd to last day to check on the hot tub chemicals.Posted on Airbnb
CheriBrian was a great host. This is by far the best place we have ever stayed. Anything you need Brian try’s to accommodate. We left something behind and I contacted Brain he confirmed with his staff it was there and shipped it out right away. I can’t tell you enough what a great experience we had. This is a very cool place to stay, hence the name House of Cool. You will never find a better host than Brian.Posted on Airbnb
SylviaWe visited Brian's house for a family & friend's getaway weekend. House was amazing and looked exactly how it was shown on the pictures. There was so much details and unique things everywhere that for sure we won't forget that house.We will return for sure again in near future and i highly recommend it to anyone.Posted on Airbnb
CodyGreat place to stay. Everybody loved the hot tub, game machines, bar, and decor. Brian and Tom were very helpful.Posted on Airbnb
ToddThe House of Cool was a perfect gathering spot for me and my extended family. There was room for us all and space for us to hang out both in full and in smaller groups. The House was constantly checking in to see how we were doing and always responsive to questions. We wouldn't hesitate to book again.Posted on Airbnb
JulieWe loved our stay at Adeleins! We stayed for a week on a family vacation and we all agree it was one of the most unique cool places to stay. We saw something new in the decor everyday and it was kept very clean! We really enjoyed the hot tub, enclosed upstairs patio, fire pit, and bar area with the pool table. We traveled with our dogs and they absolutely loved the huge yard to run around in. Brian and Tom were very helpful and easy to work with. They were attentive and made sure we were taken care of and that we enjoyed our stay. We highly recommend staying at Adeleins as it is a once in a lifetime stayPosted on Airbnb
ReemSecond time at Adelines! We cant stay away. As always we loved it, and were sad to leave. Cant wait to book it again!!Posted on Airbnb
JennyAs soon as us 4 walked into the House of Cool, the smiles on our faces stayed there the entire time. This place is the definition of Cool!! Adlines story is just incredible. She was quite a women. Every day we found something new! A few of us went fishing and did very well, played some games and gambled and WON! The umbrella garden made us feel like we were kids. I just wanted to twirl and enjoy the beauty.Brian was a very helpful host and responded quickly. We will be back!Posted on Airbnb
RossThere is a reason it's called the house of cool.Posted on Airbnb
ToddA great place with lots to look at inside and out. It's a very unique and comfortable property. We were welcomed and shown around the house. It's very easy to relax right away. The hot tub is awesome and well maintained. The kitchen has everything you need. The upstairs living room is very comfortable. I'd certainly recommend staying at least once because it's a truly cool experience. We stayed in January and I'm sure a summer stay would be even better. Great host. Great house. Thank you!Posted on Airbnb
LauraThis house is amazing! It's even cooler than the pictures show! We planned a double 40th birthday weekend with 9 guests and it was a fantastic weekend. We didn't want to leave on our last day! Very easy-to-work-with and communicative host. No negative feedback. We'd love to come back again someday!Posted on Airbnb
Rebecca AOur 3-generation family stay at the House of Cool, was just that, cool. The weather was cool too, so we didn’t get a lot of outdoor time, but there was still plenty to do and see. We loved, loved the Hot tub and the pool table was entertaining too. We had a family pool tournament, which got us all up and enjoying each others’ company. Our 10 year-old was the winner!! The kitchen had everything needed to make some awesome meals. There was lots of room for everyone to find their own space too. We’ll definitely plan on a return visit during warmer weather.Posted on Airbnb
MaryWe had a fantastic time at Adeline's House of Cool! So much fun for all ages and interests! We enjoyed meals, games, movies, hot tubing and of course, the super fun bar where we played games, laughed and danced! The area is beautiful and we ventured out to explore. The history of the property is amazing and we could not have asked for a better weekend getaway! MaryPosted on Airbnb
AnnFun party place! Comfy beds but remember to take your towels. The porch is great for relaxing & there is so much to see & explore. Be sure to do the scavenger hunt. We enjoyed the wonderful hot tub, pool table, & pinball machine. (Take your quarters). Would love to visit again!!!Posted on Airbnb
RebeccaSuch a fun place to stay! Something for everyone. Beds were super comfortable and everything was very clean. Owner and housekeeper both available and helpful. Will definitely be booking another trip!Posted on Airbnb
JuliaAnyone looking at the pictures of Adeline’s can clearly tell that they are in for something special and unique and the real thing totally surpasses it But here’s the thing, with all the decor and knick knacks, I totally expected some dust…I mean, there’s no way they can dust everything between visitors, right? But NO DUST! It really is SO clean! Our group ranged from 80’s to 50s to 20s to 10s to canines and all had a great time. We had one Saturday outing- to the Flea Market, rummage sale and antique shops in nearby Princeton. Check the town out if you are an eclectic/vintage shopper (we saw several things that would fit in beautifully in the House of Cool.). The hot tub is particularly enjoyable and we all played pool, pinball, the slot machine and listened to the jukebox. We also were interested to read about the history of the site. It is on the National Register of historic places according to the sign outside, and Adeline was quite the character! Thanks Brian, for your creative vision and for providing an excellent and entertaining destination for our family celebration!Posted on Airbnb
MichaelThis is a great and entertaining house. We’ve done vacation rental houses around the country and this was a particularly good one. We specifically wanted one off the beaten path, with no plans to wait in amusement park lines or fight traffic. The house is so whimsical that we spent most of the first afternoon just marveling at all the hidden treasures on the walls, ceiling, and display cases. We played billiards, pinball, Yardzee by the crackling fire pit, slid down the fireman’s pole, rowed our kayak and rental paddle boards from the dock out into the lake, and finished each day in the giant hot tub. We got out to the Amish bakeries, shopped for incredibly fine Amish furniture, went to quaint country stores, and rode the bikes. We all particularly liked the tranquil umbrella garden. In the morning we’d sit out under the rainbow of colors sipping coffee. Sitting by the fire pit making s’mores we saw deer running through the neighborhood, a huge beaver grabbing plants from the neighbors yard and munching them in the canal. The beds were comfy, the kitchen adequately stocked for nine people, and the A/C kept the temps comfortable. Having only one full bath upstairs had a few of us running to the downstairs bathrooms, but for a hundred year old house, it was to be expected. The charm of the house offset any minor inconvenience. We’d rent this house again without question.Posted on Airbnb
JenniferAdeline… your house is way cool. The spirit of it can’t be captured, no matter how many pictures you take (my best guess is our family took over 300!). We stayed there for three days and never wanted to leave to explore the surrounding area because there was so much to do and appreciate. Adeline’s has 6 bedrooms, so our entire family stayed there. There was so much to do together in all of the different spaces. There is the bar (not just a bar as in a bar in the corner - but a true bar where you walk into a huge room to find a pool table, slot machine, pinball, fireplace, dance space, and games) the indoor hot tub room, the upper-level movie room, firepit, waterfront and dock. My favorite outdoor area is without a doubt the umbrella garden. If you want to spread out and have some time to yourself, there is a wrap-around porch that goes around the lower and upper level with endless places to pick a comfortable spot. For quick access back to the main floor, use the firepole! From thoughtful and personalized touches by the owner to endless surprises throughout, it is one of the best places I have ever rented. Easily 10/10. If you don’t have fun at Adeline’s, you are just no fun at all!!Posted on Airbnb
StephanieHad such a weird, spooky, fun bachlorette sleepover weekend here! We barely left the air bnb & never ran out of things to do. So fun to have the “bar” feel built in and the multiple wrap around porches weee so great. So many things to explore and look at. The hot tub is *chefs kiss*. My girlfriends and I are talking about making it an annual trip. Excellent place to have fun, quality time with people. Communication was great, too - oven broke one night and the property manager was there the next morning. Owner checked in every day via text.Posted on AirbnbRobertWe had a great time at the cool house. The weather was cold For spring break but we had a ton to do in the house.Posted on Airbnb
HeidiBrian's place is CLEAN, and has wonderful space for relaxing, playing, and socializing. Our family of 5, with 3 kids and dogs, stayed very comfortably here! The beds are soft and comfortable and the pool/hot tub was a gem!Posted on Airbnb
EricGreat place. Been here 4 times nowPosted on Airbnb
CheriThis is an amazing place! Great value fun to look at everything, and the owner and caretaker truly care about you. The hot tub is amazing. We stay in the winter and the ice fishing is awesome. I bet it would be just a great in the summer. Highly recommend.Posted on Airbnb
AnitaWe had a wonderful time at Adeline's House of Cool! Our hosts Brian and Tom went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and were having a good time. Of all of the cabins we stayed at, this one was by far the cleanest. The XL hot tub is absolutely amazing, we swam in it daily. The arcade games were a blast. The attention to detail such as our name in the entryway and mailbox was so cool! I do most of the planning when it comes to picking out a cabin and booking it, and my family does most of the critiquing. This is the first cabin no one had a single complaint about.Posted on Airbnb
AllieThe house is amazing, so much to do and see! Hot tub is great and looked very clean. The house had everything we needed and beds were very comfortable.Posted on Airbnb
MonicaThis is a one of a kind house with lots of cozy hang out spaces. Really loved the hot tub and the comfy couches on the second floor. I’d like to come back in a warmer time of year so we could more fully utilize the stellar outdoor spaces.Posted on Airbnb
SamVery fun place with plenty of things to keep you occupied. Make sure to bring cash/quarters to you can take advantage of the pool table and pinball machine! Great fishing right off the private pier as well. We were able to catch bluegill, perch, catfish and northern pike right in the channel using worms and minnows.Posted on Airbnb
SamThe house is fantastic. You could spend an hour in each room and still find new things about it. Its a great time to spend with friends rain or shine. Special shout out to the hot tub and sound system that lets you control each room. Will definitely be going back.Posted on Airbnb
Garysuper placePosted on Airbnb
MaxwelThis house had everything! No shortage of fun things to do.Posted on AirbnbAmyThis place is amazing and unusual! So much fun for the whole family. Plan to come and never leave, because there is so much to do. We loved the big swings on the upstairs porch, the yard, the pool table, the hot tub, and so much more. Thank you Brian for an excellent time!Posted on Airbnb
ElizabethOur two families had a great time! Lots for kids and adults to do. Brian and Tom are welcoming and responsive. Thanks for the memories!Posted on Airbnb
DebWhere to start? Cool doesn't even begin to describe this place. Everywhere you look there's something jaw-dropping to see. Where in the world did this crazy collection come from? But not just a feast for the eyes but so much to DO-pool, pinball, a slot that pays out, board games, working VCR and DVD player with a zillion tapes and CD's, books and...drum roll...and AMAZING Hot Tub that was bigger than some pools! Tom was so accommodating and responsive to our questions. The place was spotless (how do they keep everything cobweb free??). We'll long remember our mini family reunion and can't wait to gather here again! Thanks Brian for sharing your treasure with us!Posted on Airbnb
MargaretAbsolutely amazing space! Our family had so much fun at Adelines! Hot tub is very warm, little kids can’t stay in very long, but they have a blast while they’re swimming! House was super clean, had loads to do both inside and out. Great selection of costume items for dance parties with the jukebox.Posted on Airbnb
CarlyThis home is really something special! It is so unique, the eclectic design is like playing the "I Spy" books. We visited as a family with ages 0, 7, 10, and folks in their 20's, 30's and the grandparents. There was something for everyone. We brought our own firewood and loved using the beautiful fireplaces, playing the arcade games, and of course the hot tub pool! This was a perfect staycation that was covid safe. The host Brian and the greeter Tom were very kind and helpful.Posted on AirbnbEricAmazing place! This was our third time going and it never disappoints. New guests are always amazed.Posted on Airbnb
TateAwesome winter getaway for our extended family! Loads of indoor activities and fun, but bring nickels for a cool old school game (quarter machine for pinball, juke box, and pool table is on site:) Enjoyed walking on the frozen lake, too!Posted on Airbnb
Veronicathis cabin is awesome for a family trip!.. it has everything that you need, the decoration is so cool and the hut tub is amazing!!... you won't get bored in here, ther are a lot of things to do: hut tub, pool table, bonfire, games, bar, tv, lake, chimney, etc. if you are looking for a good relaxing and quality time with the family, this place is the best option!..Posted on Airbnb
KellyMy advice is definitely book one extra day than you’re planning... it’s too hard to leave this place! The place is even cooler than the pictures and the hot tub is a lifesaverPosted on Airbnb
