About this property

Historic, creative, close to downtown!

Historic, creative, close to downtown! Set aside day-to-day distractions to focus on writing or to simply relax. Grab a book from the library to read on a blue velvet sofa or in the backyard with the birds under the maple and walnut trees.

The kitchen has a stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator. and the pantry is stocked with dishes, pots, and pans, and a range of utensils for cooking or baking. There are two coffee makers: a single cup Keurig.

There are several local coffee shops nearby if you prefer an active environment. But when you're ready to lay out materials on an inspiring desk, we have two! One is walnut with lyres carved into the base and a surface inlaid with sheet music. The other is Victorian walnut with a solid pull-out surface and many drawers and compartments. In the drawers, you'll find paper and pens. Each bedroom has a desk and a view of a red brick church through the pine branches. There are several lighting options, outlets for your laptop, and free wifi.

No parties. Please do not disturb the tenants next door. They have a gentle, friendly older dog who does not bark but may pop out in the yard with her owner.

The TV in the living room that has streaming apps. We live about a mile away should you need anything.

About the host

Hosted by Constantine Hondroulis

Host profile image
My wife and I are artists with day jobs. We play music, create videos, and are very into history, rehabbing houses, and literature.

Why they chose this property

My wife wanted a space to write without projects, chores, or dogs staring at her. Or family members popping in and out. She found creative writing spaces hard to find and had no desire to go to a teeny cabin in the woods, pointing out that that is the premise of many horror stories. All she wanted was a quiet space with a great desk and preferably reference material to minimize internet time. So we created that space with great desks, comfy furniture, and a constant creative vibe. There is wifi but also plenty of reference books. There are even antique collections she used for accurately describing the environment in one of her stories.

We had a lot of fun putting the retreat together while asking what would make a sacred writing space in an ideal scenario. Then we tested it. We had a couple of authors stay to check it out and give us feedback. Neither wanted to leave!

We wash the sheets and towels on a long cycle, vacuum and steam clean the common areas, and run a UV clear over upholstery and anything handled like doorknobs and light switches.

No parties. This place is not for that. And please respect the neighbors!
