About this property

Something to talk about in Haynie's Corner! Walk anywhere, sleeps 6!

Welcome to The Conversationalist, located in the heart of Haynie's Corner Arts District! This 1910 built home is situated on a beautiful street with a unique and unforgettable touch. Each room represents a different decade, from the roaring 20's, 60's groovy, Midcentury Modern, 80's, to Old Hollywood. The house has been recently updated with new flooring, furniture, and paint throughout, ensuring a fresh and comfortable stay.

The entry and dining areas still boast high ceilings, beautiful transom windows, and are presented with a 1920's flair. Table seats 6 comfortably. A bar cart with vintage crystal drink ware is available to our guests for use. Also included are many different options for murder mystery dinner fun!


The Conversationalist is likely the only home in the historic Evansville area with an actual 1970's conversation pit giving it the ultimate cool factor! Equipped with an electric fireplace and a 55" Smart TV this living room offers cozy and unique atmosphere to relax or socialize. Fair warning though, the funky pit can only be accessed by stepping down onto the bench seating.

The first bedroom features a luxurious king-sized platform bed and is styled in a fun Mid-Centry Modern fashion. Available for use is a raised bedside table, two lamps, full-size dresser, and closet.

The second bedroom offers a comfortable queen-sized bed and provides an Old Hollywood Glam feel. This octagon shaped room has loads of natural light which is why we offer blackout shades. There is a tall-boy dresser and raised bedside table in this room.

The third bedroom is a crowd-pleaser with all the 80's babies! A cozy double-sized bed adorned with the fabulous neon and checks we all love. This room houses the washer and dryer also.

A large, fully tiled, walk-in shower is the main attraction in the updated bathroom. Bath comes fully stocked with shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, make-up wash clothes, six sets of towels, and hair dryer.

The fully-equipped kitchen comes with everything you need to prepare a delicious meal, including pots, pans, baking sheets, silverware (8 sets), coffee maker, microwave, plate set for 8, and serving bowls.

Now let's talk about this spectacular location, the back yard leads directly to the public parking next to Sauced in the hip Haynie's Corner district. Guest are just seconds away from the action in both Haynie's Corner, on the Evansville Riverfront, and the walkway district on Main!

Come experience a unique and memorable stay at The Conversationalist!

Clean but misleading
The property was very clean and well decorated. It’s a nice place if you only plan to sleep and not lounge/hangout in a group. The “conversation pit” is a hard stoop with carpet over it that isn’t even wide enough to lay on. Owner says it’s padded but it feels like padding under carpet, not actual furniture padding. The living room has the only tv in the house and your only other seating option is a kid sized papasan chair in the corner. Zero couches in the whole place. House was clean but pit smells like kitty litter.

Super cute house for a girl's weekend
The house was super cute, clean, roomy, reasonably priced, and in a good neighborhood ... perfect for a weekend getaway!! The property owner was super friendly and very responsive when I messaged her. Would definitely recommend this location to anyone looking for a place to stay in Evansville.

Nice stay in Evansville
Nice, well-kept place in Evansville. Decent location. A negative point was that there is not any comfortable seating. A conversation pit that looks cool but is like sitting on bleachers and within a few minutes we were wishing for a couch or recliner. But overall we had good experience.

Fabulous stay in Evansville
We had a great stay for a few days. The location was excellent - a quiet and sweet street in walking distance to shops, restaurants and the river front. Parking was a breeze on the street. The host was super easy to communicate with. The house was clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend and retun.

Adorable little place! Easy access to the Lloyd so you can get anywhere in town easily. We came to visit family for Christmas- my husband and our 2 adult kids with their significant others. Beds were comfortable. Suited all our needs. Will definitely stay again when we’re back in town!

Great for a Girls Weekend!
Our group stayed for a girls weekend and attended a concert at the Ford Center. The house was perfect for our group and very fun and quirky! We walked to/from the concert venue easily with no issues and saved on the headache of event parking. Evansville is so cute charming. Owner was so easy to work with too. 👍

Perfect Location
If you are looking for a house with a great location, this is your house! We were lucky enough to stay when downtown had a lot of awesome things going on! Although there was a mix up in the reservation (no fault to the host) she jumped right in and made it right! Highly recommend this property for anyone looking to stay in Evansville!

Easy stay right on the edge of downtown
This was an easy stay - and the host was very helpful, answering questions that calmed the one in our group who doesn’t travel at all! The house is just a few blocks from downtown Evansville, which made it a great alternative to a hotel - a lot more space than a couple hotel rooms. If I found myself back in Evansville again, I would happily stay at this same house.

This was a very close place to stay since we were going to a concert at the Marina. Very beautiful and clean, and the host allowed us a late checkout which really helped mine and my wife’s first expierence without our kiddos!

About the host

Hosted by Liz Miller

Host profile image
Hello! My name is Liz and I, and my husband Ryan, are full-time Real Estate Agents in the Southern Indiana market. We've had a top team in our area, region, and nation for the last 7 years. We have a passion for homes and bringing people together! So it was a natural step to move into providing fun, safe, clean, short-term rentals where people can enjoy all our local area has to offer!

Why they chose this property

This particular home is located on an amazing bricked street and is one of the very first areas to come alive near the riverfront. Directly behind the home, just across the alley, is the fabulous Haynie's Corner area which offers several selections for food, beverages, and entertainment all within walking distance.

What makes this property unique

This property is rich in historical value. While not on the historical registry, it was home to the very first pre-school in Evansville, The Evansville Preschool, which later developed into Evansville Day School! In the early 1970's a family with charismatic charm bought her and installed a very hip, very groovy, conversation pit and fireplace which gives this old gal something very special. The fact that you get old-world charm with the brick street out front with all the amazing fun in the backyard of Haynie's Corner bars and restaurants is a win-win!
