Guest access
This Airbnb is a sweet little guest house! You will have your own small yard space, separated from main house by a privacy fence. You will feel like you have your own home for your stay. :)

If driving by car, there is driveway parking available for one car. We ask that you keep street parking available for our neighbors and only use our driveway.

Your individually assigned 4 digit code will grant you access to the home. Matching government-issued ID and credit card will be required at check in.

Other things to note
We are located in a quiet historic neighborhood. We ask that you respect our neighbors and keep noise and disruption to a minimum during your stay.

We ask that you treat our place as you would treat your own. Clean up spills, take care not to stain the furniture, use appliances carefully, etc. If this is not something you'd like to consider during your trip, our place may not be a good fit. (I realize this seems like a silly request, but you would be surprised... ;))

PETS: Dogs are allowed with prior consent from host. Please reach out to me before booking to discuss breed and temperament. Please note, we are surrounded on 3 sides by homes with dogs. So if your dog is agitated easily by other dogs, our place may not be a good fit. We also do not have a full yard- just a small dog run next to the guest home.

A reasonable pet fee will apply for approved dogs. Fee is per dog, with approval from host based on breed, size, and temperament. Additional fee may apply based on length of stay to cover additional cleaning needed. Damage from dogs will be charged to guests' damage deposit.

A security camera is located on the exterior only, facing the driveway.
