Why they chose this property

We love older homes and chose Larch House for its charm, location, and inviting floorplan. We remodeled and furnished the entire home. From the luxurious bamboo bed linens to the features of the gourmet kitchen, everything is designed to help you enjoy your stay.

What makes this property unique

We love entertaining guests. Patsy was raised in England. She grew up in the hotel and restaurant industry. It instilled in her the instinct to treat our guests as if they were staying in the finest hotel. The owners, Patsy and Felix, live on the property in the upstairs Duplex which is a completely separate from the downstairs unit is separated by an outside Door / Staircase & walls dividing the two properties ..
We respect the privacy of our guests at all times. However, should you need our assistance you can be assured of prompt response time.
