Back in time

This is a perfect location in Jerome, near the Jerome Grand Hotel. A very relaxing experience.

Charming Home in Perfect Location

The Riordan House is a charming place with a lot of character. Glenn has really done an exceptional job not only in restoring the house but in furnishing it as well. The kitchen and bathroom had all the modern conveniences you could want and then some. Although it seems perched far away from downtown, it’s actually a short walk down to get to stores, restaurants, bars, and sights of Jerome. At the same time, it’s far enough removed from the streets that it doesn’t get noisy, which is important, as Jerome can get kind of loud at night. All in all, I had a relaxing, quiet time and look forward to staying here again.

Best of Jerome

Glenn has left nothing undone. From the documenting of the history and renovation of the home to your comfort and easy access to downtown Jerome. We cooked in the kitchen and on the outdoor grill for many meals as we never wanted to leave the home or view of the outdoor deck and swings. The Verde Valley view from the home and deck do not disappoint. Every sunrise and sunset were stunning and it was easy to relax and enjoy our time there. Ghost tour is 5 mins down the steps as is the Hilltop Deli. Wonderful reviews for both. We are locally in Arizona and cannot wait until our next sojourn to Jerome. We would love to return, each time, to this lovely home get-away.
