"House of Refuge" (HoR)

Our place is great for couples, solo adventurers, budget travelers, business travelers, traveling professionals, and families (with one or two kid(s).) Kindly, read the house rules before checking in. Thank you, and I appreciate it! Our guest/s will stay in a private bedroom furnished with two twin- beds. If there are two guests, the second person will pay for $10.00 extra. Located upstairs of the house is your room. So, yes, our guest/s will need to climb the stairs to get there. Of course, we are providing fresh sheets and clean comforters. Besides the two twin-beds, there is also a working desk and and a wood chair. The drawer and the closet are yours to store clothes and other items. The T.V, set is only for DVD viewing. There is no cable for you to watch TV shows, although I may consider furnishing one in the future. There is an alarm clock, some clothes hangers, ironing board, flat iron, and a basket of travel magazines. The bonus is; an attached bath/sink/toilet in the bedroom. Hence, our VIP guests will have their (own) bath & shower, sink & mirror, and toilet. Some basic toiletries are ready for grab, so feel free to use just in case you forgot to bring your own. You may also use the towels in the bathroom. Our house is equipped with centralized air conditioning and heating system. It is already set up to a comfortable temperature. The Wi-Fi password is written on a card, and it is on the small table. Guest(s) will have their own house key. It is on the table inside the bedroom. Leave the keys on the same table when your time to check out. The washer and dryer are for family members to use only. We respect our guests' privacy, but if they prefer a little conversation, we of course, welcome that! We encourage our guests to ask any question about our town/ area, such as where is the best Mexican restaurant or the nearest bakery, etc. If I am away from the house, and you need anything, please send me a message on AIRBNB App. If you are staying for a few days to a week, I hope you don't mind if I check how things are in as far as your stay. I just want to make sure you are fine and comfortable. =) There are four Nat'l Parks near my town -- the Yosemite Nat'l Park, the Sequoia Nat'l Park, the Kings Canyon Nat'l Park, and the Pinnacles National Park. All these four parks are about 2 hours away from my house via car. Have I mentioned yet that the Raisin Capital of the World is just a few miles drive from your "House of Refuge?" Not very many nightlife opportunities in my town because we live in a rural community where farms and dairy lands dominate the area. We take pride of our town's very own ice cream parlor that has been existing for 80 plus years -- The Superior Dairy! This ice cream shop is famous in the entire Kings County. Both chain and family-owned restaurants although not a lot, our guests will have at least a few to choose from when they struck with hunger. The nearest grocery store from my house is 1/4 mile away by car. Target Store, Super Wal-Mart, Kohl's just to name a few are chain shopping stores within a mile or less away from our home. In-N-Out Burger is only a five-minute drive from our neighborhood. ;-) The Amtrak train station is a mile away from our house. I can give a ride to/from the station if you let me know ahead of time. There is public bus transportation in my town. The bus stop, however, is about four blocks away from my house. It is quite a walk. If you're driving a car, you are welcome to park on the far right car garage driveway. I am a stay at home mom, so, if you have any question, I am here the entire time, unless I need to run some errands. My husband and I are the "evening person." That said, there might be light movements through the hallways. We are a mile away to/from a railway, so the sound of trains passing through (on scheduled hours) is inevitable.
