About this house rental
Welcome to the Wheeler Mitchell House
Nestled in the Don Juan Filhoil Historic District, the Wheeler Mitchell House sits right across from the Ouachita River, offering a peaceful retreat steeped in history. Originally part of a homestead dating back to the early 1800s, this home was built in 1928 by one of the homestead owner’s sons. While the original homestead house no longer stands, the property retains its majestic oak trees, lively squirrels, and Southern charm.
Built before the levee was constructed, this home once stood along what was called South Beverport Street. Though it has been remodeled to include modern comforts, the original hardwood floors, doors, and woodwork remain, preserving its timeless character. The landscaping is mature and well-maintained, while the bathroom blends contemporary updates with classic charm.
With a new HVAC system, high-speed Wi-Fi, and memory foam beds, the home offers a comfortable and nostalgic atmosphere, reminiscent of grandparents’ houses, especially with its classic kitchen design.

10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
This was a very charming, historic house! So cute! The porch was a nice place to visit. The house was very clean and had an extra roll out bed for use with extra linens. The house had plenty of security offerings and we felt safe. The hosts were very responsive and helped with any questions we had. As an aside, one of the beds in a bedroom is fairly tall, so could be tricky for some, but didn’t affect our situation. We’d stay here again if given the opportunity.

Great place to stay. We were comfortable and had everything we needed. Back yard was great to let dogs out. They were comfortable in the house too. Easy to get in and about Monroe. Recommend staying here!! We were here March 2026
