Garden Apartment Retreat

Pick your own fruits and vegetables from our organic garden when in season. Monarch butterfly garden in the back yard. If you feel like a quick work out, there are free weights and yoga mats at your disposal. Kayakers, we have room to store your kayaks in the back yard. We respect your need for quiet and do our best to tip toe around upstairs especially between 8:30pm and 6:30am. Expect an apartment style amount of sound to carry down to you at other times. The space The backyard that is at your entrance and exit hosts bumble bees and butterflies. Flowering cherry trees in the spring and Hibiscus flowers in August. Cilantro popped out of nowhere mid-winter. This August we have basil, thyme, lavender oregano, eggplant, cucumber, banana peppers, tomatoes and sun chokes. Rosemary is always available. As always, our vegetable garden is a work in progress. It depends on how well mom balances the responsibilities of the household, the Airbnb, her jobs, the kids etc. Guest access The driveway is all yours and can fit up to six cars tandem and back to back. Enjoy the entire yard. We will stay out of your way while you are here. Other things to note I spent the first 12 years of my life traveling between south east Asia and New Jersey every 2 years. I know that traveling with kids can be challenging. I want to make it more fun for your family when you stay with us. Let me know what their favorite things are. Tea party with dolls? Beanie Babies? Legos? The washer and dryer that we will share is in the basement. We will respect your privacy and always ask instead of assume that we can come down and use it during your stay. We know that many individuals have multiple chemical sensitivities and do our best to use aldehyde free products. However, every now and then there is a sale on a favorite fragrant shampoo of mine and I put it in the basement shower. Please lmk if you do have allergies and I will remove it. To respect the needs of everyone who stays with us, please avoid smoking on the property and using fragrances. In the kitchenette area, there is an induction stove top, electric kettle, coffee maker, large microwave and full size refrigerator.
