36 Thames Street will always hold a special place in our hearts. As both Hamilton fans and buffs of the ‘Birth of our Nation’ saga the history of the house is thrilling. With gas lights and period homes lining the streets in this historic district we were transported to the 1700s. I expected a horse drawn carriage to trot by at any moment. This gorgeous house is both elegant and cozy and handsomely decorated with thoughtful details throughout. Beds are so comfortable, bedding luxurious. Abundant pillows. We have two teenagers who enjoyed having their own huge private bedrooms, private shared bathroom and a lounge between them with futon and tv. This was the entire third floor which was open and spacious with high ceilings and beautiful windows. Game nights on the enormous plank wood dining table were delightful. Kitchen is lovely, well appointed with all modern needs met. So much room to spread out with extra bedrooms and/or office space to work and three beautiful full bathrooms. Even our dogs were happy as they had room to run about in the beautiful tiered, fenced back yard. They also enjoyed sniffing around the little corner park just outside. One might expect there are compromises made to live this magnificent historic experience. There were none. Before reserving I had concerns that it would feel small and parking would be difficult, neither of which was of concern. We felt relaxed and comfortable from the first night on. Hosts were warm and welcoming and texted back right away with our settling in questions. Walking distance to shops, delightful sweets (Cupcake Charlie’s!), restaurants, pubs, the water, and to our stunning US history. I’m glad we reserved for a month with so much to see. Even during winter weather we loved our time there. We look forward to staying again as this was immensely enjoyable and a treasured experience.
