Cozy, newly remodeled and well located, our guesthouse is a great place to stay. We put lots of thought and care in designing a space that people will truly enjoy. We are located in the heart of the beautiful College neighborhood, walkable to Roseburg Square shops and food as well as the Virginia Trail. We are close to downtown and have plenty of street parking, as well as a side gate with driveway that goes right up to the guest house.

The space
**Note: only two people per reservation and only people on the reservation should be on the property. It is not okay to have additional friends or family members stay over. It is sometimes okay if they stop by briefly, please check in with us first.** The guesthouse is on the rear portion of our property so we are aware of people on the grounds.
**Note: reservations with children will not be accepted because we have a pool. Infants may be acceptable, please check with us. Thank you!**

We have a large 1/3 acre property right in the middle of the College Neighborhood! High fences and trees surround the property so it feels very private.

The guest house is located in the rear, off of the driveway on the right side of the property. It is private and completely detached from the main house. The home has 550 square feet with an open kitchen/dining/living space, one good-sized bedroom with a closet as well as a full bathroom. We recently completed a mini remodel with new paint and furnishings throughout!

Guest access
As a guest, you have access to the entire guest house as well as the yard and pool. There are two loungers set up outside the guest house next to the pool.

Other things to note
The Pool:
As you can see in the photos, the property has lots of vegetation which makes for a beautiful setting! However, it also means that the pool will not be 100% sparkling clean as there is no way to keep all of the leaves and bugs completely out of the pool. We have it professionally maintained every Monday and there is a skimmer next to the pool that you are welcome to use to clean the top before jumping in. The pool is shared with the main house. *We are not liable for any incidents in regards to the pool.*
Bugs:
The beautiful green setting also means there are bugs around! We have a professional service that comes out monthly to spray and clean the homes and property for insects, but you will still see bugs around, especially in the hot summer months. If you are sensitive to insects then this may not be a great fit.
Towels:
We provide one bath towel per guest every three days. If you require daily fresh towels, our listing is not a good fit.
Heating & Cooling:
While there is a fireplace inside the guest house, it is not for guest use.
There is a ductless mini-split with remote control for heating and cooling.
Our dog:
Our dog (Lois, small french bulldog, 11 years old): She can be moody so we try our best to keep her inside when guests are around. If you run into her and she is barking and excited, it's best to ignore her. Some guests do enjoy making friends with Lois, but please proceed with caution. If you are not comfortable around dogs this may not be a good fit.

Neighborhood highlights

We love our neighborhood! As with most towns, the college area contains older homes and is walkable to downtown areas. It's a great place for walking around, as we are surrounded by many adorable older homes, all of various architectural styles and most are well maintained and loved.

A couple of blocks away is the Virginia Trail which is a walking/running/biking path that runs south/north through Modesto on what use to be the old train tracks. It's beautiful, well maintained, lit at night and will take you south to downtown or north to more shops and stores.

Roseburg Square is an approximate five minute walk and has a grocery store (O'Brien's Market), Starbucks, Divine Swine restaurant and bar, Elevate Yoga, a gym and Yogurt Mill for frozen yogurt.

McHenry Village is a five minute drive and has a bunch more shops and stores including a Sprouts market.

Downtown Modesto is a five minute drive / twenty minute walk and has tons of great little restaurants and bars. We are happy to give recommendations, just ask :)
