Firepit w/ Zen Garden, Smoke & Pet-Free Sanctuary

Welcome! Tell me about you and why you picked my place. :-) For best experience, NO CHECK-IN PAST 7 PM. This gives us a chance to meet and go over things about the house so we all can enjoy your stay. If both rooms are used, the additional two-room fee applies. Shopping Center is just behind my house! Ping pong, golf course within walking distance, and learning chess this year, so impromptu games welcome! SHOES OFF AT DOOR PLEASE. Indoor flip flops available. The rooms are small but quaint (beds are super comfy), and can accommodate a variety of needs. Just ask, and I can discuss more details. It's also a musical and gaming household if you want to indulge in table tennis, chess, piano, or have your own instrument you'd like to play. I have a large hall bath that will generally be for your use, but it is the main bath, so visitors will use when necessary. So I try to keep this area clean! In summer, I don’t keep the house tooo cold, so you can expect an attic fan if in the 70s and 80's at times. Here's an odd detail, but many people do this, so it merits mentionin (Website hidden by Airbnb) please, no wet towels on the bed or footboards. This rots the wood and is not good for the mattress. So please either hang in closet, or on a hook provided. If there's room in the bathroom and you're the main guest, feel free to hang towels on the racks. And remember to utilize ceiling fans for best comfort in warmer weather. Just pull the chain to the level you want. :-) I own my home so community space you find in apartments or condos aren’t relevant. And I have a lovely back deck, sunroom, and various areas to sit and enjoy! I added a fire pit to the backyard after my tree died. Lots of options in all of the seasons to enjoy. I am very flexible in this department, too. The spring and fall are very nice times of year to have coffee in the sunroom, a refreshment on the back deck with the torches burning at night, or taking in a short walk to the Blue Moose or Mexican Barrio restaurant for dinner. If you play the piano, impromptu recitals or concerts are encouraged. :-) Welcome! Pretty mellow neighborhood not too far in the 'burbs, with easy highway access. I live in the Red Bridge area, with a quaint shopping center just behind my house. Includes new restaurants, Crows Coffee, a pharmacy, several work out facilities, nail salon, grocery store, hardware store, and golf course. Wonderscope Children's Museum recently completed. There's a bus about two blocks away that goes all the way downtown, but a car is easiest to navigate. There is a bus stop just behind my house, Red Bridge and Oak metro stop. And of course, there's Über or Lyft. You are welcome to park in my driveway if you have a car (right side, closest to steps). 1. Generally, we take shoes off at door. :-). Cubby space available in entryway. 2. If possible, checkout by 10 AM on Sunday's, and no check-in past 7 pm. 3. In certain circumstances, garage parking is available in the winter in heavy snow or extreme conditions. Not meant for full-time use. 4. I use attic fan and ceiling fans in temperate weather 5. I don't serve breakfast, but offer coffee and tea. If using kitchen, please replace condiments and food used. 6. Deadbolt at front door has two settings. Don't turn too far left, or you'll lock yourself (and others) out.
