Other things to note
A Sanctuary for Sensitive Guests
We take great pride in maintaining a strictly pet-free and dander-free environment. Please note that if a pet or animal is brought into the home, even for a moment, a $1,000 deep-cleaning fee will be applied to your bill. This is essential to ensure the health and comfort of our guests with severe allergies.

Preserving History
To help us protect the meticulously restored original hardwood floors, we kindly ask that guests remove their outdoor shoes upon entry.

Neighborly Love: We are located in a peaceful residential area. Please observe quiet hours from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM.

Safety: For your peace of mind and the security of the property, an external security ring camera monitors the front entrance and driveway area.

No Smoking: This is a 100% smoke-free and vape-free property, both indoors and in the private outdoor spaces.

I loved restoring this 1916 beauty with my childhood best friend, who lives just 3 doors down. Princeton is a historic yet vibrant community with beautiful parks, community theater, coffee shops, great restaurants and dozens of boutique shops. I am an avid traveler. I completed my quest to visit all 50 states by the time I turned 50. I have really appreciated staying at AirBnBs that helped make each state visit unique and special.
