about the stay

Guests have access to the rental, back garden, all-in-one washer/dryer, drying rack, and entry. This unit has a Yale smart lock for entry to the unit that is code/time specific for each guest. The main gate to the property also has a digital entry code. You will receive an email from me prior to your trip on how to access the unit with your codes for entry.

Street cleaning days are Weds (across the street) and Thursday (house side of the street), from 10 AM to Noon. Park across the street the evening prior if you will not be leaving before 10am. The street has free parking and is generally plentiful, so parking is usually not a problem. If for some reason finding parking on the street is challenging, please reach out to me as I may be able to find a solution. I’ve rarely had this be an issue.

When you are here, surrounded by vegetation, it is very peaceful, so you may feel there is nobody around, however, there are neighbors and with all the windows open, you may hear them/us and they may hear you. Keep that in mind when choosing the volume of the TV, music, going behind the house to have a private conversation, etc. Because sound rises, you will hear us if we are using our deck and if you have your doors and windows open. However, the rental has double-pane windows that will block out noise when closed. I will notify you if we plan on having any larger gatherings in our yard, which is very very seldom.

This space was designed by an eco architect who considered window placement, tree canopy, etc for energy efficiency. Most of the year, the windows are all that’s needed to keep the space cool and comfortable. The space also has a mini-split heat/air conditioning system in the main living area. Rarely does this not suffice, however, the enclosed upstairs room is at the farthest access point. For those rare extreme weather days, I also have a free-standing, heater, fan and a portable air conditioning tower for that room. Please ask after check in, if needed.
