Historic Steckel carriage house with picturesque landscaping
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.

We loved the quaint spaces in the Steckel Carriage House! Our family had a great stay here. The hosts were very hospitable, the space was very clean and had a home-like feel. Would love to stay here again! Thank you for the homemade granola 🙂
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful and unique carriage house! It was the perfect retreat for our family of four. Cozy, comfortable, and full of thoughtful touches. The fresh flowers, stocked yogurt, and granola made us feel right at home.We truly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable stay!
The historic Steckel carriage house was one of the most delightful places we have ever stayed during our many travels. It was exactly as advertised and then some. Our hosts were so thoughtful and we really enjoyed the coffee station and delicious homemade granola! The beds were super comfy and the office area setup was perfect for getting a little work done while on vacation. We HIGHLY recommend the Steckel carriage house when you are in the Bloomfield area!
This place is cuter in person! I love history and this cottage and the town of Bloomfield is full of it! We were able to walk a couple blocks into town where we saw the historic courthouse, cute shops and there was even a little farmers market going on. The fridge was full of water, yogurt and homemade granola. If we are back in the area we will definitely be looking to stay here again!

Lovely home for a two-night stay. The place was cute and comfortable. The only downside is that the bathroom is downstairs, so when these old people needed it in the middle of the night, it was a sketchy journey down the stairs. If we were younger and healthier it would not have been a problem.
Reminded me of the main sitting room of the Hill House in Helensburgh, Scotland looking out at the gardens. It felt very welcoming, and the host left a lovely bouquet of fresh flowers. The property was very clean, well maintained and comfortable. The yogurt and granola provided was a welcome touch. I even enjoyed playing the LPs.
We were impressed with the cleanliness and cute and cozy little apartment. Our only advise-make sure you know where the lights in the bathroom and entryway are before dark! 😂 We couldn’t find them until the next morning! But I’ve already recommended it to family members!

Very clean and well kept interior, with excellent climate control. Friendly and kind host makes tasty granola and respects your privacy. Safe neighborhood.
Minor issues: I received what seemed to be a wild parsnip burn when sitting outside one day in the carriage house's courtyard after the lawn had been mowed---likely there's some of those plants out there which had had their stems sliced in the process. Kitchen garbage disposal needed either sharpening or some other service; unlike all else in the property, TLC was required for it to work reliably.
Would absolutely stay again!

Great place to stay, unique carriage house is a fun place. The granola was outstanding! Erica is a great host. Thank you!
We were very pleased with the facility and it had everything we needed for our over night stay. The furniture and bed were very comfortable as it gave us time to relax before the family festivities.
We thoroughly enjoyed our overnight in the historic carriage house. The spacious layout exuded warmth and charm. We would love to return.

It was very neat and clean. There were other extra touches that added to the stay - flowers and homemade chocolate candy on the table! Host was friendly and helpful.
