About this apartment rental
No extra cleaning fees! :)
Relax in the charming Steckel carriage house, complete with fresh flower bouquet. It contains a second floor studio apartment with a king ,full, and twin size bed. Settle down with the Victrola record player and a fun selection of vintage records.
There is a small, fully functional Kitchen. The fridge is stocked with water bottles, yogurt and my homemade granola.
There is Smart TV plus an office area with monitors, a printer, 2 office chairs, and Wi-Fi.
There is a children’s play area with books and toys. A pack-n-play crib is available. We also have a large playground close by for our own children that is available for you upon request.
The bathroom and dressing/makeup room is on the first floor.
No PETS.
There is central heating and air.
Linens are washed and dried with All - free and clear laundry soap and dryer sheets to protect those with sensitive skin.
Please be advised that this building is over 100 years old. Light switches are in creative places. :) It is not wheelchair accessible. Please do not book if you have trouble going up steps.
The nature-themed apartment complements the landscaping and numerous songbirds it is surrounded by in the summertime. Outside is an outdoor sitting area, with a locally made bistro table and two chairs.
W.J. and Belle Steckel built the carriage house, in addition to their house, in 1910. It included living quarters for the groundskeeper/chauffeur. The apartment has been kept up-to-date by later owners.
Bloomfield is a unique small town, surrounded by farms. There are old-fashioned stores, a coffee/flower shop, stately Carnegie library, and hiking/fishing/hunting opportunities in the area.

It was the perfect place to get away to. Quiet town, neighborhood to walk in, and a coffee shop/bookstore within walking distance. The place was unique and cozy and we enjoyed the homemade granola and the bonus of homemade brownies when we got there. We did notice that there were no microwaveable dishes (though there is a small microwave) so if you plan to microwave, bring a dish. We just reheated our food on the stove.

My second time staying at the Steckel carriage house and will look to stay there again when I am back in the Bloomfield area. Highly recommend to any family or couple visiting in the area!

The property is difficult for seniors in the winter. Bathroom on a different floor than living space meant 12 -15 stairsteps each way to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. It was also quite cold.
