The Space:
This incredible home offers spacious living with additional, private ADU that offers privacy and self-sufficient area for additional guests who prefer privacy from the bigger home.
When you enter the front door of the home, you'll be greeted by the bright and cheery living room and fireplace sitting area. The sofa contains a queen size hide-a-bed with extra linens stored inside the coffee table. The smart TV allows guests to stream any accounts that they enjoy at home. From the living room, you can keep left to the first bedroom with queen bed and 2 nightstands with reading lights, dresser, closet and walk-thru door to the hallway with common space bathroom and kitchen.
Past the common bathroom, you will find the second bedroom. This room is complete with queen bed, nightstands (no reading lights), full dresser with mirror and walk-in closet.
Through the living room, and past the sofa, you'll enter the formal dining room and then galley kitchen. The kitchen comes equipped with oven, microwave, automatic drip coffee machine, cookware, dishes, drinking glasses, coffee mugs and wine glasses. We provide basic spices (garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, steak seasoning, cinnamon, ranch powder) and oils, including olive oil, sugar, and flour. (Spices may change without notice, as use and spills can happen. We'll do our best to keep them well-stocked for your stay.)
Through the kitchen, you can go out the back door and to the front door of the ADU OR you can go downstairs where you'll find the third bedroom with double bed, nightstands with reading lights, and en-suite half bath containing toilet, sink, tile walk-in shower and small vanity mirror. Past the bedroom lies the entertainment room with large TV and movable beanbags and blankets for guests' enjoyment.
Outside the back door, located in the kitchen, you'll find a set of stairs and another door with smartlock. This door with smart lock is the front door to the ADU. We only rent the ADU to guests who book the large home. If you plan to use the ADU, please let us know at the time of booking. Inside the ADU, you'll discover a self-sufficient apartment suite! Complete with bedroom, including comfy queen bed, night stand with reading lights, alarm clock, wardrobe closet. The stacked laundry set is located in a second closet inside the bedroom. There is a full bath with tile shower and tub insert, toilet, sink and vanity mirror. The ADU apartment also lends a kitchenette, with full size electric cooktop stove and oven, Keurig coffee maker, microwave, sink and standard-size refrigerator with freezer. The kitchenette is open to the dining table and living room. The comfy, oversize sofa in the living room also hides a queen sleeper, and the french doors off the living room go to the balcony deck with outdoor seating and propane BBQ.
Near the balcony, we do have a small, unfenced back yard with outdoor seating as well.
Street parking is available for free.
Sorry, we do not allow pets at this location, not even for a day visit.
The detached garage is not for guest use.
We do have a recording device on the outside of the home for safety and security. Camera is a Ring doorbell camera located on the front of the home, facing the street. It is motion-activated and records video and sound. We respect guest privacy and only look at the cameras if an issue arises during or after your stay. No cameras are mounted in, nor do they face/record any private, guest-only areas.
Air conditioning is a seasonal amenity. We offer two rollaway air conditioners, as well as one seasonal window A/C unit. Please inquire if you'd like to confirm the availability of A/C during your stay.
We do require guests to e-sign a vacation rental agreement for stays of any length prior to check in. We request guests fill out a check-in form so that we can best prepare for your stay.

Other Things to Note:
While most reservations go through without a hitch, we understand that sometimes things happen. We want to offer our guests the best and most price-effective option for those incidents that we hope do not occur. We found that damage deposits can be costly, frustrating and we don't want to hold any of your hard-earned money 'just in case'.
For Airbnb reservations: We do not charge a damage deposit because Airbnb offers AirCover.
For non-Airbnb reservations: We charge a nightly fee for damage insurance in lieu of charging a damage deposit. This fee is nonrefundable and should be added to your reservation at checkout. If it is not, we will contact you to process payment for this charge. This fee pays for protection through a third-party company and covers property damage that may occur during your stay.
After booking confirmation, you have the option to purchase third-party travel insurance for up to 14 days prior to your stay. Please reach out via message if you're interested in travel insurance.
Airbnb does their own guest screening and we do ours.
For non-Airbnb reservations, we use a quick and simple third party guest screening service. Please watch for this email and complete the appropriate steps. Message/call us if you encounter any problems or have questions about this service. We require non-Airbnb guests to submit documents to verify identity and perform background screening, which occurs through a third-party company to Safely. Cancellation policy applies to reservations that are cancelled due to guests not reading this requirement in the listing and not wanting to perform the background screening.
If you request check in less than 48 hours in advance, we will ask for a photo of your Identification matching the method of payment used, and meet you on site for check in to verify your reservation is for the booked guest. (Subject to change. Please message us with questions.)
