Extended Stay * Private Room, Bath & Living Area

Recharge your batteries after a long day in your own bedroom, living area and bathroom. The house is located in a quiet, established neighborhood that is conveniently located to anything in Portage or Kalamazoo in under 20 minutes. There is a shared kitchen with updated appliances and all amenities from home. Ideal spot for business travelers, digital nomads and others needing longer stays. We do not accommodate stays shorter than 30 days due to local ordinance. The space The house is shared with your host Lucy-- my Dad the co-host lives nearby. You have your own private room, bathroom and living area. There is a shared kitchen, dining room, bathroom and sitting room. Everything is situated on one floor with no stairs. Guests do not have access to the basement as it is just storage space. However, the basement may serve as a safety area in the event of a storm. The only laundry in the house is accessible only via the private guest area. Your host has a strong preference to be allowed to use it -- especially for longer stays. I typically do laundry on Friday or Saturday mornings when I clean but am flexible. Please communicate whether use of the laundry is permitted and leave your door open when access is allowed. I clean the common area once per week. Typically on Friday or Saturday morning. If you would like me to clean your sheets, and / or lightly clean your room when I clean the house and do laundry, please let me know. About your host: I'm a bartender and spend about 35 hours a week outside of the house. I also run a podcast and weight loss coaching business. I'm a world traveller and love food! Sundays are my jam and you'll find me in zen state! You are welcome to pick fresh herbs and produce from my Gardyn!

Guests may use any space in the house except for my bedroom. My office may be used, but if I need it I have priority. My iMac has a guest setting that functions like the library where it erases all data after each use. The house has the strongest internet sold for the address -- just under fiber speeds. There is ample parking. When choosing a spot, please leave access to the garage as I use it to charge my car. During your stay I am an introvert and tend to be fairly quiet, but am also warm to people and happy to accommodate your preferred level of interaction. If you like a home cooked meal, I'm your girl! :). I love all things food and travel! Other things to note I do not have frequent guests and overnight guests are very rare. My Dad, who is the other co-host, and some family who live locally swing by on occasion for brief visits. My Dad sometimes drops off his recycling and checks the mail. Overall house vibe is quiet and professional.
