vacation rental description

If your taste is more jukebox than Victrola? More poodle skirt than parasol? Then America's First Nostalgic Guesthouse, The Good Ol' Days House is for you.  Relax during your stay in a home where the 1950s, 60s and 70s come alive.  This recently restored & renovated family home is filled with authentic treasures that bring you back to the decades of America's past with its Nifty 50s Kitchen,  an art deco style 1940s Dining Room, a living room in 'mod' 1960s decor,  retro 70s bedrooms, and full basement with a Knotty Pine built in bar right out of the 50s along with vintage Pinball and Bowling machines.  Take a step back in time with family and friends as you celebrate important milestones such as birthdays, anniversaries, family & class reunions or just a weekend getaway to go back to a simpler time and remember those Good Ol' Days.
**Just Opened across the street our 'Sweet Nostalgia on Broad'  an old-fashioned Candy Store filled with Antiques, Sweets, & Collectibles.

Thanks for the Memories from Canada!

Review submitted: June 6, 2013   Date of arrival: September 8, 2012

We've just spent an amazing week in your beautiful home. Thank you for opening the doors to the past -- your home unlocked memories that we will treasure for years to come. You are a warm and caring person and your love of live and family fills each room of this dear home. Being a child of the 50s, raised in a Polish Catholic Family, I just 'connected' with so many things in here. I truly felt as if I'd come home. Thank you so much for the treats, breakfast, you are very thoughtful. We wish you and your family all the best. Thanks for the Memories! With warmest regards and heartfelt appreciation.

Fondly, Fabulous Michigan Memories

Review submitted: June 6, 2013   Date of arrival: October 5, 2012

The "*** Clan" was here from Michigan and had such a fabulous time recalling the good ol' days with reminders in every nook, cranny, drawer, table top, shelf, rack, closet & more --- they were everywhere reminders of how it was back then,
We siblings came here because our dad grew up in Braddock, PA having moved to Michigan married out mother and raised six children born from 1941-1956!.......Dad died in 1983 and Mom in 2012... and so we looked for a place we could all be together just as we were growing up. Somehow my daughter Molly, found this remarkable place where we could all, once again, sit around the dining room table and reminisce. This house was nothing less than perfect.
Then we found Frick Park & what did we stumble upon "The Braddock Trail"!
Thank you Melanie, for the joy and great spirit you brought to our trip; for the wonderful antique store where we were able to find great rememberences of this great trip and for providing the perfect place for so many memories and loads of laughter. We loved every moment. Will all of our affection....

Christmas Stay

Review submitted: June 6, 2013   Date of arrival: December 28, 2012

Thank you for your hospitality! We enjoyed chatting with you so much about our former home town. House was a blast & the Christmas Tree made my little girl's heart silly. Mom and I thoroughly enjoyed our travels down memory lane as we discovered so many items we used to have or that my grandmother had. Our friends & family also enjoyed joining us here. We took some special pictures that we will share via email! Thanks again and God Bless.
