DETAILS:
Apartment 2, on the second floor, is grounding and bright. With three bedrooms and one bath, it can sleep up to 6 adults. The master bedroom features a stunning king-sized bed with a large walk-in closet. The second bedroom offers a queen-sized bed and a separate desk area if you need to tackle some work while you are with us. The third bedroom is playful and inviting, with built-in full-over-queen bunk beds and a cozy, oversized bean bag, guests of all ages won't want to leave. All of the bedrooms have in-room smart TVs with Hulu, Disney+, and Netflix for all of your streaming needs.
Want to cook while you are with us? The full kitchen in apartment 2 offers everything you need for a quick snack or a full meal. The built-in banquette provides a wonderful perch to enjoy the afternoon, and you can see the history of the home in the custom farmhouse table. Made entirely from reclaimed wood (the legs are made from studs reclaimed from the house!) and on casters of easy moving, the table is a perfect addition to the house. Finally, the spacious, spa-like bath is a perfect place to unwind with beautiful views of the backyard. The separate vanities provide plenty of space for you and your guests to store your effects, and the amazing shower with built-in bench and two shower heads invites you to relax for a while.
Step outside and the real fun begins. The beautifully restored front porch offers plenty of space to lounge and gather. Draw the curtains for additional privacy, or to shade yourself from the afternoon sun, and spread out on the spacious sectional. Follow the lighted path to the back of the house, and you will find the most amazing backyard in the neighborhood -- custom designed and accessible, the backyard offers hammocks, outdoor lounge areas, and a Weber propane grill. Perfect for entertaining or relaxing!
We try to make all of our spaces inviting homes away from home, so we strive to provide all of the comforts you might need to make your stay enjoyable. We take pride in the comfort of our beds and bedding, offering memory foam mattresses and breathable, bamboo sheets, which are soft, eco-friendly, and hypoallergenic. We also stock the apartments with organic, paraben- and cruelty-free shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and body wash. Finally, to make your travel a little easier, all of our kitchens are stocked with locally-roasted whole bean coffee, grinders, kettles, and french presses, as well as an assortment of caffeinated and decaf teas.
We hope you have a wonderful stay with us!
Please be sure to include all people and pets (as adults) in your guest count at booking. You should count pets as adults in your guest count. If this causes you to exceed the maximum guest count, please reach out.
No gatherings or events are allowed in this listing. If you are interested in hosting a gathering or event with outside guests, please contact us to find a suitable listing.
-----------------------------------
We look forward to hosting you and hope to provide you, and all of our guests, a five-star experience. To this end, we ask our guests to follow a few, simple rules to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. By staying with us, you are agreeing to follow these rules. If you have any questions, please reach out to us.
Guests on Property. Please make sure your guest count is accurate and includes all people and pets (listed as adults) that will be accompanying you on the property. No additional guests or pets are allowed, unless previously approved by us. The nightly rate varies based on occupancy. We charge a supplemental fee for each guest to cover additional services, amenities, linens, utilities, and wear and tear. This fee will be calculated automatically when you update your guest count on your booking platform. If you bring more guests than are listed on your reservation (or approved by us), you agree to pay double the applicable guest fee, and if your group is disruptive, your group may be asked to leave the property and forfeit the remainder of your reservation without a refund. You are responsible for all members of your reservation, in addition to anyone who may be invited or allowed on the premises by you or any member of your reservation.
No Parties. No parties or gatherings with outside guests are allowed within the home or on the premises, unless previously approved in writing by the host. If approved, events may incur additional fees, including additional guest fees and/or cleaning fees, and guests may be required to provide supplemental insurance coverage. All of this should be negotiated in advance with the host.
Pets. The property is pet-friendly. Although we love all pets, we only allow dogs. We ask all guests traveling with dogs to be respectful of other guests -- to keep their dogs on leash when outside or in public areas, to pick up after them, and not to leave them unattended for extended periods of time. You agree to assume full responsibility for any animals you bring or allow on the property. If your pet causes any injury or harm to other guests or to the property, you will be 100% liable for any necessary treatment, care, or repair. No aggressive or loud animals are permitted. If your pup struggles with these issues, please keep them at home. Disruptive, barking, and/or aggressive pets will be asked to leave, and you may forfeit any remaining nights on their reservation without a refund. If you are traveling with a dog, please let us know when you book or inquire. There is a non-refundable pet fee for each dog to cover additional wear and tear and cleaning. If you list your pet as an adult in your guest count at booking, this fee will automatically be added to your reservation. If you are unsure whether the fee has been assessed, please ask. If there is a problem, we can charge the correct fee separately after your booking is confirmed. If your plans change, you can easily add or remove pets from your reservation. We appreciate your cooperation with this policy, as it benefits us a great deal to know in advance if you are staying with pets so that we can plan for additional cleaning. If you bring a pet without notifying us or in violation of this policy, you may be subject to a penalty, in addition to the applicable pet fees.
No smoking or vaping. The property is smoke-free. There is absolutely no smoking or vaping (tobacco, cannabis, or other substances) or illegal drug use allowed inside the property, including in any screened porches or in any interior areas. A $500 smoke remediation fee will be assessed if you or any members of your group violate this policy. If you smoke, do so outside, away from entrances to the property, and dispose of any refuse outside.
Golden rule. In general, we try to follow the golden rule: treat others how you would want to be treated. To that end, please treat the property, its contents, and its neighbors with respect. Be mindful of your presence: all of our homes are privately owned and have full-time neighbors. When you are in the property, please be gentle with furnishings and amenities. If you use something, please put it back when you are done. Be respectful of the neighbors and the community. Do not create a potential hazard or nuisance to others. Please keep noise levels to a minimum, especially during our quiet hours, between 9 p.m. and 9 a.m. If you are in a property that shares walls or floors/ceilings with another property, please be especially mindful: loud voices, heavy footsteps or rolling suitcases, and loud music or TV can easily carry. If we receive a complaint regarding noise or nuisance from a neighbor, we will let you know promptly so that you can address the issue. If you are unable to mitigate the noise and remain a nuisance to other guests or neighbors, you may be asked to leave, forfeiting the remainder of your reservation without refund. In addition, if you create a disruption that causes us to have to refund other guests’ stays or causes us to incur other cost
