Rachel and David provided a pleasant place to stay that was perfectly setup for Airbnb guests. Communication with them was superb and check-in was a breeze. The place is in their back yard behind their garage and was quiet and private. The guest house is stocked with everything you could need for a stay and even many little extras in case you forgot something. The bed was firm for my preference, though there were plenty of extra blankets, a fan and a linen closet full of bedding, assuring you had what you needed for a good night's rest. Two things I especially liked about Rachel's and David's place were the nice selection of teas that were available and the off-street parking for my vehicle. I would definitely stay there again, next time making sure I had the correct adapter to charge my EV from their garage outlet.

Meet the Host

Rachel
Rachel
Owner
We are a couple of young folks with old fashioned tastes. We enjoy hospitality, learning obscure things, and extreme DIY projects. David has a passion for tools, and Rachel thinks that comes in handy. Rachel is an artist, and David enjoys her traditional style. Rachel homeschools the children during the day, and David has a large homemade telescope, so you might catch us outside after dark admiring Saturn or Jupiter.
We have young kids, so we usually go to bed and get up early. As long as we are awake, we'll address any guest messages ASAP.
David can speak Cantonese; Rachel was once fairly fluent in ASL but has sadly forgotten much of it.

Policies and Rules

Icon
Check In: 2PM - Flexible
Arrival instructions will be emailed prior to check in day.

Check in/out time information:
We don't do back-to-back bookings right now, however we do need to occasionally inforce the check in/out times because we want to use the driveway and/or yard for a gathering. Please communicate with us about your arrival and departure needs, and we will try to accommodate. The more notice we can have the better; 24 hours preferably.

Check in: 2:00 PM or later
Early check in is always free, but does need prior approval so we make sure the driveway is clear for you. Luggage drop off is also available.
We appreciate knowing your arrival plans in general.

Check out: 10:00AM
Late check out can usually be allowed, but not always. Please arrange the day before check out if possible.

No pets
Due to allergies, we ask that anyone with animals not book.
Minimum age limit for renters: 25
Exception is made for FOCUS students. Please contact us.
Maximum occupancy: 5
We recommend no more than 4 adults, or 2 adults and as many of their children as is comfortable to them.
House Rules
No smoking, no smokers! This includes: no cigarettes, cigars, vaping, hookah, illegal drugs, or marijuana in any form. Due to some guests being treated at the medical center, and the presence of small children and people with asthma on the property, we simply can not host smokers. Just smoking outside or off property is not a solution, it still comes out of your lungs and off your clothes. This is our number one rule. Sorry for the inconvenience. If this policy necessitates you canceling your booking, please let me know as soon as possible.

No pets. If you brought an animal please message us immediately.

Remove shoes indoors. Please don't make a mess. Clean up spills promptly. Food residue attracts bugs.

No loud noise outside between 7PM and 7AM (please avoid boisterous noise outside in general for the sake of our neighbors and napping babies).

No parties or events. No unregistered guests. This is not a hotel room.

No candles, incense, or open flames.

You may park inside or outside the gate, but please close it after opening. We want to keep dogs out and chickens in. Be careful to park so that the gate can open fully, allowing us to roll out the trash bins.

Minimum age to book is 25. Minors must be supervised by a registered adult at all times.

Please don't use towels to remove makeup. Wipes from the cabinet or paper towels are provided.

Please don't take unused supplies with you when you leave. Please ask before using anything in the garage, except for the laundry items.

If an issue arises, let us know straight away - we can deal with most problems swiftly and are happy to do so - please do not suffer in silence! Simply send me a message and I will respond in EVERY instance. Please let us know about broken or damaged items promptly as we might need time to replace them before the next guest.

For health and safety reasons, we reserve the right to clean the bathroom in the middle of a longer stay. To confirm your identity, please send a picture of your ID with your first message, and tell us a little about yourself.

Breaking of rules may result in loss of deposit or other fines. Our primary use of the guest house is visiting family and friends. Please help keep it lovely for them.

Thanks for reading.
