About this property

Family home with fenced yard 6 minutes to the Silos

Welcome to the Bike Nest! Our charming 1920s Craftsman home that is nestled in a peaceful neighborhood. This pet-loving, bike centered haven is a short walk from a delightful playground and skate park. With a welcoming front porch and a fenced yard, it's perfect for a relaxing escape and a place for your furbabies to frolic in safety after a day on the trails. Our fully-equipped kitchen is perfect for family gatherings. Nearby downtown, Cameron Park and the zoo are just a short bike ride away.

Our beautiful home has a total of 7 rooms for you and your party to enjoy:
* A living room with enough seating for 8 people and 75" TV for Netfilx and chill or any of the other streaming options we provide.
* Dining room with a table that comfortably seats 8
* A fully stocked kitchen including 5 burner gas range and French door refrigerator with ice maker
* Laundry room with full size washer and dryer at your disposal
* King size bedroom with en suite that includes a soaking tub
* Queen bedroom with private door to large hall bath
* Study room with 2 daybeds that can be converted to 2 king beds or 4 single twins. Prior to your arrival, if you would like us to set up the daybeds in the Study into a specific layout (i.e. 1 king & 2 singles, 4 singles, 2 kings), please let us know.

We have also included a dedicated work space for the traveling nomads. The space includes monitor, keyboard and a mouse provided. We provide high speed internet at no extra cost to our guest. There is a QR code to scan once you arrive so no messing with usernames and passwords.

Out back you'll find a spacious backyard that is covered by large oak trees. The fire pit is perfect for those cool autumn nights. A rustic playhouse for the kids (and kid at hearts) rounds out the space.

Under the back deck is the perfect spot for storing bicycles. Should you need to rinse your bike off after a hard day of riding, there is a water hose handy. If you would prefer locked storage for your bikes, please let us know and we can provide access to the storage garage during your stay.

For entertainment we have stocked our home with indoor and outdoor game choices. In the Study you'll find connect four and ring toss on the walls plus numerous board games and cards. In the Laundry room you'll locate corn hole, croquet, and yard size Yahtzee and Farkle. Feel free to take any of these outside and play
