THE SPACE
Parking: Due to the location on a busy street, extra care is needed when exiting the driveway.
Traffic noise: The street can get very busy/loud at times with traffic, especially on the weekends in the summertime. If you are a light sleeper we recommend having a white noise app on your phone or bringing a sound machine.

DOWNSTAIRS
The large, full kitchen is recently updated with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen is fully-stocked with all the equipment you need to make a home-cooked meal. You bring the food!
- Drip coffee maker and french press (no keurig/pods)
- Eat-in breakfast bar seats 3
- Family-style dining table seats 8 people
- Coffee, tea and sugar provided

Our wood-paneled parlor room has comfy couches and a smart TV to stream your favorite channels. Listen to the radio on our vintage 1961 Magnavox console. Grab a book, play a game or simply relax and chat with friends.

The "Coral Room" has an open closet for coats & clothes and a pull-out couch that serves as an additional sleep space (note: there are no doors to this room). Kid-friendly games and books are in the cube storage. Access to the 1/2 bath.

**Being a quite old 2-story building, Miss Myrtle's temperature can be a little tough to regulate and she tends to be cozy upstairs and cool downstairs. During winter, we recommend bringing slippers and a comfy robe/sweatshirt to wear while hanging out downstairs. Every room has vents which can be toggled to change the airflow to your comfort.

Guest access
There is public street parking on Myrtle street, however city regulations state that anyone staying at the airbnb must be parked in the driveway.

We recommend walking to downtown whenever possible, as parking can get full during busy times. There are many free and pay parking lots around town as well as street parking. Most of them have time restrictions. Please see the map provided at the house or on the discover Stillwater website for locations.

Access to the bike trail begins at the bottom of the hill by the river.

Neighborhood highlights

The house is directly across the street from 2 wonderful shops - Lil Tulips and Reclaiming Beautiful - and the post office. It's another 1/2 block to the Stillwater Library and community garden.

For groceries there is a small corner store at the top of the hill called Lens with groceries, snacks and some to-go lunch items. Stillwater co-op is on Main Street (down the hill and to your left). Other grocery stores in town are not within walking distance, but easily drivable.

Stillwater Main Street is just a few blocks away and full of unique finds at the many locally-owned antique stores and boutiques. Go for a stroll along the riverfront, eat at the restaurants and grab a treat from one of the ice cream or sweet shops.
