The front door in the living room leads you to the front porch, which is the perfect spot to wrap in a wool blanket and sip morning coffee.

--->LOFT/SLEEPING AREA: Head up the wood ladder to the open loft, but please use both hands. You will be pleasantly surprised to find a cozy queen sized bed on one side, and 3 twin beds on the other.

The loft is a shared space, but does provide some privacy when the curtain divider is drawn.
