Hi! Please read listing fully & supply all info when inquiring to avoid being declined. 2+ reviews required to book. Private unit w own entrance in separate area of my home for 2 ppl MAX TOTAL-kids 14+ only. Amenities: queen-sized memory foam bed, bath w double shower, fridge, microwave, coffee/tea, desk/dining area, in-ground pool (Memorial-Labor Day), hot tub (year round), free parking, deck, private fenced-in yard! 30 mins to Philly, 20 mins to New Hope and 1.5 hours to NYC. ***COVID-19 Update: If unit comes up as available, it is. Cleaning is thorough with COVID-killing products in between guests. ***Inquire about long-term (month or more) rates as I may be able to offer you a deeper discount than advertised! (I typically charge $1,500/month and add amenities not included in short-term stays.) Spacious 250 sq. ft studio with own entrance in a private area of my home. Lots of storage, your own bath w toilet, sink and dual-head shower with bench (no tub). I also occasionally board dogs for travelers so there may be a dog (or up to 4) in the yard as well as in my home. They will not have access to your studio. I MAY permit you to bring a dog/dogs for an additional fee if he/ she is friendly and fully house-trained, but YOU MUST DISCLOSE PRIOR TO BOOKING the breed, size, age & temperament of your pet(s). Rental DOES NOT ALLOW CATS. Please make sure pup(s) is/are current on shots and flea & tick medication and LEASHED AT ALL TIMES while on property. If I am home, I’m happy to let your pup out for a potty break or feed him or her, if need be. Just ask and leave door unlocked! :) The studio is all yours, has its own private entrance and is connected to my home. It’s similar to an apartment or motel in that there is a shared wall so you might hear me as I go about my day or evening but in five years of hosting, haven’t had a complaint about my level of noise. (I keep the TV turned down low after 11pm, try to be as respectful as possible and expect the same in return.) The pool and hot tub are for you and your guest to enjoy privately (you will not be sharing it with others, though if you are out for the day and I am doing yard work, I may jump in to cool off!) during your stay anytime from 7am-11pm (please use quietly after 10pm). I do all of the maintenance here myself, so you may see me out back taking out the trash, cleaning the pool/hot tub, doing yard work or letting the dogs out. It’s lovely here because I work hard to keep it that way and since I am typically booked up, may need to attend to maintenance during your stay. Due to COVID, please be courteous and allow me to tend to these necessary duties (which shouldn’t occupy more than one hour per day max, if that-I really do try to take care of between guests!) with social distancing in mind. Outdoor of property (both backyard and front) are under live video surveillance at all times for both your safety and mine. Please do not attempt to turn off/ unplug outdoor lights as they are there for security and so I can see if I need to go outside at night. I have children as neighbors so quiet hours are from 10pm-7am both indoors and out. If you want to drink excessively, play obscene music, or party all day and night, this is not the place for you and I’ll give you one warning before asking you to leave with no refund. There is free parking on the street. Please do not park in the driveway. I make every effort to meet you upon arrival but this isn’t always possible. (COVID UPDATE: I am vaccinated and am following social distancing guidelines) If you need to reach me, please do so VIA THE AIRBNB APP and I’ll get back to promptly but understand that I do sleep, shower, work and occasionally get into projects that may make it hard for me to respond instantly. Please don’t knock on the back sliding door and be upset if I don’t answer. I want you to be comfortable and I’ll try to help but message me rather than banging on the door, thanks. I really do enjoy meeting new people but I also value your privacy, as well as my own. If home, I’m happy to chat briefly if we cross paths, especially about travel! :) The dogs I board will typically be let out every 3-4 hours so please don’t leave anything in their reach that could be damaged. If you have a fear of dogs, this is probably not the best place for you. They are not always here, but the likelihood is high that you will have some interaction with them so please keep that in mind. If your dog is not able to be under your control at all times or is not properly trained, I may ask you to leave with no refund. Great, safe residential neighborhood in the suburbs of Philly in one of the best school districts (Pennsbury) in Pennsylvania. Car is preferable but public transportation options are within reach. I may also be able to pick you up at airport for a cheaper rate than uber/lyft/taxi. Just ask! 1. Keep noise to a minimum between 11pm-7am. No pool/ hot tub use during this time. Please be quiet outdoors after 10pm. 2. Clean up food & crumbs right after eating & don't leave food out as area is prone to pests. ANTS WILL TAKE OVER YOUR ROOM! 3. Cooking on outdoor grill & fire pit is off-limits to guests. (Unfortunately due to several instances of carelessness, I am no longer offering these options.) I also don’t allow hot plates, induction cooktops, etc. for the same reason. If you’d like a meal that requires cooking beyond the microwave, check out my Guide Book for ideas on where to grab a bite. There are lots of great dining options just a few minutes away! 4. No strong odors of any kind (food, perfumes, colognes, etc.) Strong odors that haven’t gone away before 5pm on your checkout day will result in partial or full loss of security deposit. 5. No painting of any kind while on property. This includes paint projects outdoors and in, hair coloring & dyeing, nail polish, etc. Save these potentially messy activities for your own home please. Also if you use makeup, glitter, powder, hair dye or any other items that may damage linens, floors or furniture please be careful, take preventative measures and clean up your mess. Failure to do so may result in additional cleaning/damage fee. 6. No smoking or vaping indoors & NO CANDLES or incense anywhere on property. You may smoke cigarettes or cigars only on deck at least ten feet from your door. No drugs of any kind on property. There is an ashtray in corner of deck. If your butts fill it, please dispose of them in the outdoor trash once they are fully extinguished. 7. This an (in progress) eco-friendly property. If you don’t care about our planet, please book elsewhere. I ask that windows stay closed since I have central air & heat. Turn off lights (other than nightlight & porch light) when not home to conserve electricity. Keep showers to 15 mins or less. Reuse towels. Keep the hot tub clean so I don’t have to dump 500 gallons of water because you wanted to eat sandwiches in there or couldn’t bother to clean off your body beforehand. (It pains me to charge you but it pains me more to waste so much precious water unnecessarily.) 8. Keep gate COMPLETELY closed at all times & use caution when coming & going to prevent dogs from escaping. PLEASE KEEP YOUR DOG LEASHED AT ALL TIMES, even in backyard. (A past guest’s dog put a large hole in the pool cover, so please stay away from pool area in off-season and keep pets away, too. Thx!) PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE YOUR DOG UNATTENDED OUTSIDE OR ALLOW THEM TO DIG IN THE DIRT. If I am home and boarding dogs during your stay, I MAY allow you to keep your pup off-leash once they have met all the dogs I’m caring for. 9. NO ADDITIONAL GUESTS ON PROPERTY OTHER THAN RESERVATION PARTY. No exceptions!! Not following this will result in police being called and you being escorted off property, along with a complete loss of security deposit. If you order food, please meet delivery driver at curb or gate you entered from. (If home, I am often engaged in work or activities where I may not hear delivery so it is up to you to make sure you get your delivery.) 10. ABSOLUTELY NO GLASS ITEMS (BOTTLES, GLASSES, ETC.) OUTDOORS, ON OR AROUND POOL OR HOT TUB. PLEASE USE PLASTIC CUPS INSTEAD. 11. To avoid a surcharge on your cleaning fee, please do the following: (a) thoroughly wash & dry dishes you dirty, b) avoid putting food into sink drain, c) empty fridge & wipe down if dirtied, along with microwave & food cover, d) strip bed of sheets & pillowcases & leave in pile on floor along with dirty towels. Leave comforter on bed, please. 12. Remember to leave key behind! 13. When inquiring, please include password: “Got it all!” to let me know you read listing and are clear on my rules and policies to avoid confusion/ misunderstandings. Also, I require the following prior to booking: your account includes a photo and is verified, has at least two positive reviews, the purpose of your visit, a bit about yourself including your full name and full name of additional guest (required prior to entering property). I am not able to call you to prior to booking to discuss your questions (AIRBNB also blocks phone numbers prior to booking.) If you have a question not answered on here, please ask in your inquiry. Requesting to book is acknowledging that you’ve read listing and understand all rules and policies. Thx so much and I hope to see you soon! :)
