NO SMOKING/TOBACCO/ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES ANYWHERE ON THE PREMISES. I have guests with medical issues staying here because there is no smoking. Please don't book this house if you have any smokers in your group.
If you move furniture/bedding, please return to original space at check-out.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS PROPERTY RENTAL IS NOT CHARGED AS A FLAT RATE. Since the house accomodates from 2 to 22 guests, the pricing is tiered depending on how many guests are staying. The base pricing is for 2 guests. Each person extra is charged at $35/person/night.
If you are booking this house for 2 or 3 guests, but trying to accommodate more people in for the same rate, please don't book this house. IF MORE GUESTS ARE FOUND TO STAY OVER WHAT IS BOOKED (WE HAVE EXTERIOR CAMERAS TO VERIFY), THE RATE FOR EXTRA GUESTS WILL BE CHARGED AT $50/person/night. Between the outdoor ring cameras & my housekeeper, we will know how many guests actually stayed. I am a single disabled mother who has worked hard on this house for nearly 10 years. Please be respectful and follow the rules.
If you are on a budget, then write me to let me know your situation. I'll do my best to accommodate you/your group.

A gentle reminder that this is a large home & the cost of upkeep/utilities is the same regardless of group size. Rentals for large groups must reflect the number of individuals staying in the property as I cannot allow significant discounts. Please be respectful of this.
There is also a sectional sleeper sofa with full-sized mattress.
ALL mattresses and pillowcases have been encased to prevent bedbugs, allergens, and are waterproof.
HOUSE LAYOUT:
I decided to write up layout of the bedrooms/beds and available options so you can make a better decision on who goes where, etc. I’ve named the bedrooms to avoid confusion.
GROUND FLOOR
So the ground floor/1st floor has a small bedroom (Fairfield) with a queen bed. It has a full bathroom as well. So it’s like a very small master suite. To get to this bathroom, you must walk through Fairfield bedroom. Fairfield is next to the kitchen; hence, it is ideal for anyone with mobility concerns. Also on the ground floor is the kitchen, dining room, and living room. Though to gain access to the house, one must be able to climb 3 steps from outside.
2nd FLOOR
The 2nd floor has 3 bedrooms. 2 of the bedrooms have connecting smaller bedrooms. One bedroom (Wayne) is quite large & has 2 queen beds in this room. There is a sliding door in Wayne that leads to another small bedroom (Union) with twin bunk beds. Union is about 80sf. Union also has its own door to the hallway as well.
There is a small bedroom (Ewing) with a queen bed. It’s about 110sf. No connecting rooms. Softer bed.
Lastly, there is Van Buren room with a queen bed. This room connects to the solarium (Harrison). The solarium (100sf) has a twin daybed with a twin trundle. To get to Harrison from the hallway, you must walk through Van Buren.
BASEMENT:
Basement has an adult game room with a multi-gaming table (pool/ping pong/push hockey), darts, seating area, 32"TV, a laundry area, a kiddie room with TV as well as a 3/4 bathroom.
ATTTIC
700sq area with foosball table, Xbox, 3/4 bathroom, 4 twin beds and a full-sized bed. So if someone wants to stay up here, it is possible. I do have to charge to rent this unless it is overflow for a large group - to cover the housekeeping/ supplies/utilities as it is another 700 sf. But with larger groups, it does allow for people to spread out more comfortably. So If you want to use the attic, there will be a one time charge of $150. But you can also decide after you arrive & check out the house. I will send you all the door codes just before you check-in.
