Worth knowing before you book
- The house is a renovated home about 45 years old. It is clean and comfortable, but not hotel-perfect: there are small steps and gaps in places.
- It sits on a main road, so you will hear traffic and may feel a slight vibration when trucks pass. Earplugs are provided.
- There is a security camera outside the building, as required by the local health office. There are no cameras inside.
- In winter, running several appliances at once can trip the breaker.
- All bedrooms are upstairs.
No front desk and no meals. Pets are not allowed.
