Spacious, Artsy, Historic Downtown Home

Spacious, artsy home, dubbed the "Rooster House", is located just 2 blocks from the heart of downtown Lawrence. Our home is within walking distance of all downtown events, arts, music, and restaurants historic Lawrence has to offer.


The space

Located on historic Rhode Island street, the house has free street parking as well as private alley parking, which comes in handy as many cars park on our block for downtown events. We are a 3 minute walk from the Granada, Replay Lounge, Bottleneck, and Jazzhaus. The Arts Center is around the corner, and just a block from that is the farmer's market which runs from early spring to late fall.

The house is spacious and open with skylights in the kitchen. Located on the main floor is 1.5 bathrooms, 1 non-conforming bedroom with memory foam twin daybed mattress and pull out trundle, fully equipped kitchen, living area, and pool room. The second level has 2 bedrooms, the master with a king bed which overlooks Rhode Island street, and the second bedroom with a queen bed. The stairs are quite steep, as it is a preserved and historic staircase. Please note that there is no bathroom upstairs, although one of the bedrooms adjoins the main bathroom downstairs. Please consider this if you have mobility issues.

The main floor has a spacious pool room and eating nook off of the living room for your entertainment. The living room has a comfy sectional, flat screen TV (equipped with 100 mbps internet and Amazon FireStick).

Please note that this house is historic, and parts of the home are settling. The decor and furnishings have character and are not "just out of the package" quality. Each room has unique artwork from several local artists, you may find yourself feeling more like a townie than a guest of Lawrence when you leave.


Guest access

Guests are welcome to the entire home, including the back porch and front porch. We ask that you stay out of the basement unless there is an emergency, as we use it for storage.


Interaction with guests

We are available for the duration of your stay via the Airbnb app or by phone call. We are happy to answer any questions you have regarding the house or general questions about your stay.


Other things to note

The house has a Ring Video Camera on the front porch for your safety and ours.

No smoking in the house please. Smoking inside the property and/or strong secondhand smoke smell or any evidence of smoking (i.e. cigarette butts or ashes) in or around the house will result in an automatic extra $50 cleaning fee.

Absolutely no parties on the premises. Failure to adhere will result in immediate eviction.

Please be honest about how many people you plan on staying. More guests means more wear and tear on the property and higher water and energy bills. Open communication and honesty is what makes Airbnb a great resource for us all, and correct information ensures I can give you the high quality service you deserve.
