Bringing a pet? Our yard is fully fenced and gated, pets are welcome for a small fee. We even have treats, water bowl & pick up bags. This home backs up to a walking/biking paved trail. We strive for the most clean and affordable places around while being pet friendly.

Our home is professionally cleaned after each guest, we try to keep the cleaning costs as low as possible while maintaining a high standard of clean, we never require guests to do dishes/laundry but it is helpful if the outgoing guest starts these since many of our incoming guests ask to check in early.

Because some bookings are back to back, it can be difficult to accommodate early check-in and late check-outs. If you need additional time in the home please consider booking an extra day. If our cleaner completes the clean early we do our best to notify the incoming guest that they can check in early free of charge.
