Notes
HOSTING PHILOSOPHY

We set up the suite to host family & friends who needed a work-from-home space during covid, and over time, began opening it up to returning and vetted Airbnb guests. When you stay with us, we'll treat you like family -- the only thing we ask in return is that you treat the space, property, and our neighborhood with the same level of respect by following our house rules. Every house rule we have was conceived for a reason out of a past experience we've had with guests. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your cooperation.


BOOKING INSTRUCTIONS

The more you can tell us about your trip, the more likely you'll have a great experience! In your booking message, please introduce yourself and mention:
+ The purpose of your trip
+ Any special requests/circumstances (e.g., will be sleeping during the day)
+ Communication preferences/limitations (e.g., don’t have the Airbnb App, wifi only)
+ Requests for early check-in/late check-out
+ Details for pet accommodation request, if relevant


PET APPROVAL & WEEKLY FEE

We can accept one house-trained pet on a case-by-case basis. Please introduce your companion and tell us what measures you will take to help keep the space clean and ensure their safety.

- The pet must be sufficiently groomed, with claws trimmed
- The pet must be supervised at all times, for their safety
- We are not able to accommodate dogs who bark often given our quiet rural surroundings
- We are not able to accommodate cats known to incur damage to furniture
- We can provide extra pet sheets and towels to cover furniture during your stay. Please use them to minimize pet hair, etc..

The $50 pet fee is per week of your stay, and goes towards carpet shampooing for the suite, hallway, and stairs as we typically do not allow animals on the second floor. Evidence of pets on furniture, pet waste left on property, pet messes/damage will incur additional charges.


OUR PRICING POLICY

We strive to offer the best deal in the area for travel lodging, which is not comparable to month-to-month or long-term rentals given lodging taxes and platform service fees. Our base nightly pricing varies between $68-82 based on seasonal factors and demand, and is otherwise controlled by the Airbnb algorithm. We ask you to consider this information before booking and also when prompted to leave a review for your stay.

We offer a weekly discount of 10% and more for longer stays. If you find a better deal elsewhere, please let us know!
