Additional baby travel bed/pack n play available. Bricked private back patio with rocking chairs to while away the hours, enjoying your morning coffee or evening cocktail.

As with most old homes, there are aspects which are not perfect but add to the charm and sense of history - original old floors, windows and doors. The house is approximately 140 years old and features very high ceilings, painted hardwood floors, and is decorated with a mix of modern furniture and antiques. This is not a full-time rental, but is our home and is furnished and maintained accordingly, with quality bed linens (most are organic cotton), comfortable mattresses, good knives and pots/pans in the kitchen.

I have put a lot of effort into making my home a healthy and happy one. I am especially interested in recycling, conservation and sustainable living. I have made efforts to reduce the use of plastics and other non-renewable materials. All of the walls and trim were painted with zero VOC paint. There are recycling bins provided. The house is cleaned with all-natural/non-toxic cleaning supplies and the linens/towels are washed in organic unscented detergent.

Enhanced cleaning procedures using all non-toxic cleaning products, beginning and ending with Force of Nature disinfectant (certified by the EPA to kill coronavirus, norovirus and more). Weekly housekeeping included in rental and provided by my longtime trusted housekeeper.
