Trumpets called Clarions were found in post-Roman Europe. A Clarion has clear tones, a dictionary calls it "brilliantly clear". We understand a Clarion Call to be a clear, urgency in the spirit to move and to act with haste. The Clarion was an loud, shrill instrument similar to a signaled time to go into battle. A clarion call is such a call, but coming from the core of one's spirit to move out of complacency, procrastination, doubt, fear, and limitations to MOVE and CONQUER for the kingdom! The Clarion Call is an over the garage apartment, It's tucked in behind our main residence and has a secluded atmosphere with plenty of street parking. It's located in a invitingly friendly neighborhood great for walking or biking. It is a considerable climb up the stairs to enter the apartment an the garage area below is off limits to guests. The fenced-in yard in the rear of the apartment is also off limits to guests due to liability issues. Smoking is not permitted inside the guesthouse, smoking outdoors is permitted, kindly do not leave butts on premises. Thank you... Your Host/Hostess will always try to be available if needed for any reason. This over the garage apartment is located in the Sweetbrier subdivision, which was originally part of George Washington's boyhood home of which the Washington Family referred to as the "Ferry Farm" because of the working Ferry Boat located there on the bank of the Rappahannock River. It's just a 5 minute drive to downtown historic Fredericksburg, the National Military Park, Mary Washington’s home, and many more historical sites to visit. You can also enjoy the afternoon strolling through town in a horse drawn carriage, or hop on the Trolly for guided history tour of the town at the Fredericksburg welcome center. Small breed dogs under 20 lbs. are permissible only with prior approval, no more than two pets are allowed, cats are not permissible due to health reasons. Host may request a photo of your pet for verification. There is no dog run accessible to guests on the property, however we do have a very nice pet friendly neighborhood where you can walk your pets. Because of the additional cleaning needed when pets are boarded, there is a $20 a day pet fee per pet. Air BnB will only charge you the first $20 of the Pet Fee, you will need to pay the balance directly to your Host. This helps pay for the additional cleaning of pet hair.
