Welcome to our charming, historic home in this old Tobago neighborhood. The property was renovated, and all modern conveniences were installed but it maintains all the charm of its 150-year history. There’s almost always something in season - sapodilla, mango, guava, pomegranate or lemon. Guests are welcome to fruits but are reminded that the chickens and iguanas are pets, not food. A short stroll away is the magnificent views of Fort King George built in the late 18th century. The space This house and yard once hosted a tobacco processing operation and a chicken farm. It has survived generations of children and the devastating hurricane Flora in 1962. Its night-time view over the port of Scarborough may be brighter than the 1850's but it’s not hard to get lost in time looking at the brood of resident chickens foraging for fare in the large backyard. Sit and sip on the back porch or relax on the side deck which are also great places for bird watching. The space has several distinct seating areas for bonding with friends and family or alone time with a novel or your headphones. You will also find a functional dirt oven in the back yard. Please let us know if you would like to try using it and we will provide all the safety information and instructions. The cottage has two double beds in the first bedroom and one queen bed in the second so it can theoretically sleep 6 but that may not work for everyone. Both bedrooms are air conditioned and have en-suite bathrooms. Please also remember that this an old wooden house with lots of ventilation so you may occasionally see termite dust or the odd moth or house lizard at night. We try to live in harmony with nature and minimize the use of harmful pesticides. There is ample parking space available in the yard as well as street parking. Guest access Guests have access to the entire cottage and the yard. Unfortunately, due to past negative experiences we cannot accept booking requests from guests whose identities have not been verified by Airbnb and who do not have at least two positive guest reviews from previous Airbnb stays.
