This cozy rental unit is located on the second floor of a two family house. The owners live in the rest of the house. There are no shared spaces between units. You enter from a private second floor deck into the main room, featuring a fully equipped kitchen with an antique farm sink, books, board games, a coffee station and a flat screen tv. Although this room isn’t huge, (200 sq feet) there is ample seating for 8 and a coffee table. For additional dining options there are tray tables available, and a large outdoor dining area. The side bedroom features a twin over double bunk bed, a comfy chair, and a closet and dresser. In the front of the house is a small sunroom, which can also be used as a bedroom, with two loveseats for lounging that pull out into twin size beds. Up a set of stairs is a charming converted attic. This is a loft style space (very low sloped ceilings - 5' 10" at its highest) with one queen and two twin beds, a dresser, and a seating area. The bathroom includes a tub/shower, bidet toilet, and a well stocked vanity. There is a spacious outdoor shower at the base of the steps. The entire unit, outdoor shower, and deck is your private space. You also have full access to the patio, outdoor dining table, screened porch, yard, gardens, pool, and woods. Although we may occasionally use the pool when you are not outside, and at times we need to tend to the gardens and mow the lawn, we do not use the backyard amenities when our guests are outside. When you are using the pool, patio, screened porch, etc. you will not be sharing with anyone! My husband John and I live in the other half of the home. We are usually around weekends and evenings, and are always available by text. Please don't hesitate to ask for anything you need!
