Open and welcoming to ALL types of people. There is a cleaning fee. There is TV with internet (Prime & Netflix) but NO LIVE TV OR CABLE *some new furniture since pictures The space This space is completely separate and you will not come into contact with anyone from the main house during your stay, unless we need to help you with something that comes up. ---------------------------------------------- Enter through the side gate on Cottage Lane to your private area. There is a patio with a table, umbrella and chairs, a hammock in season. Watch Concord’s Main Street drive, bike, and walk by as you read one of Concord's many local authors. The space itself is one large room with a queen modern wood bed frame and Casper mattress, large leather chair, clothes-hanging closet, and dresser. There is an en suite full bath with sink, toilet, and shower. There is a kitchenette (no oven or stove), and the bathroom was renovated to include a zero-step shower. The room itself is sparse without much additional decoration in order to keep the allergens low. There are no rugs nor upholstery and there are window shades and simple curtains for privacy. The value of this unit is its convenient location. This is the perfect place for travelers without a car. You can walk around Concord or head into Cambridge or Boston via commuter rail. The unit is a block away from Concord's Commuter Rail and depot district, .25 miles to Concord's beautiful library, and .4 miles to downtown Concord Center and all of the wonderful shopping and historic locations that offers. We are also 2 miles away from Walden Pond. Mattress and pillows are covered with anti-allergen covers and there are no pets permitted in the room. There are minimal rug and curtain treatments to reduce dust and allergens. Contact us about running our advanced air filter before you arrive or renting it during your stay for an additional fee. Additionally, this unit has a one-step entrance, a low bed that is easy to get in and out of and has a roll-in shower with a bench seat and many handrails. We are looking to go to a zero-step entrance when we can. Notes: Here I will address some comments from previous guests. 1) Please note that there is a cleaning fee clearly listed in the extra charges section 2) Please note that the value of this unit is its location. This isn't a glamorous unit, but it is neatly pulled together and has its own heat and air conditioner, separate entrance, full bath, fridge, microwave, coffeemaker, outside patio, parking, and you can WALK TO EVERYTHING. If you want to spend less and you don't need the proximity that this unit offers, you may want to rent elsewhere. 3) There are no blackout curtains, and there is a high window with no blinds. If you have trouble sleeping with daylight you should bring eyepatches. 4) If the wifi is acting up, there is a direct wire plug-in in the room. So if you have important work to do it is a good idea to bring your own cord. 5) I do not have a second mattress or cot available for the room. There is only the one queen bed. 6) There is a washer dryer but I have the closet locked, so please let me know if you want to use it. It is important to use only a small amount of detergent and keep the lint trap clean so the machines don’t get damaged (Miele). Thanks! With those things in mind, you will love it! Guest access Please park in the driveway on Cottage Lane in any of the 4 parking spots or on the grass in front of the sculpture. You are welcome to use the front corner of the grass yard and patio at the corner of the property at Main Street and Cottage Lane. The rest of the property is private for the other airbnb (“Cottage Room B”) and for the owners. Other things to note Heat and AC: Using the white remote, choose mode of SUN icon for HEAT then set temp to your heat setting, or choose the SNOWFLAKE and set the ac to your COOL setting. Choose fan AUTO to let the machine attain this temp, otherwise fan just stays on permanently. to start the system, click ON while pointing the remote at the wall unit. Other fun features: We have a duck and a Little Free Library ! We have a few ducks that waddles around the front and back yard quacking and being ridiculous little creatures. They are afraid of people and run away. When we have extra, we sell the eggs at Verrill Farm. A short fence separates them from your corner of the yard. Ducks love peas, so feel free to feed them peas or vegetables (no citrus or bread, please). We also have a homemade little free library on the corner of the property! Besides the books inside the unit you can find something to read in our LFL Charter # 106194.
