We typically stock the kitchen with chips, oatmeal, ground coffee, tea, sweeteners, and sparkling water. And there's even a spout for filtered water at the sink. Just so you know, the pump at the kitchen sink is filled with hand soap, and the button by the sink is the garbage disposal.

There are three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a half bathroom. Bedroom 1 is located on the first floor and features a queen-sized bed and an ensuite bathroom with a shower that has a low curb, making it easy to enter.

Plus, there's plenty of room to put the queen-sized air mattress in this loft area for extra guests. The air mattress is kept inside the closet in the 2nd bedroom. The home has high ceilings throughout (except the 3rd bedroom). Lastly, the laundry room is on the main level, and there's a washer and dryer available for your use. We provide fragrance-free detergent and bleach for your convenience. The cleaning crew washes the linens on-site between guests, and sometimes, there might be laundry left in the dryer.
