Downstairs Private Suite at Dottie's House

This bedroom's private entry is off the front porch. The bedroom is 12' x 16', with large bathroom en suite, closet, "full" size sofa bed, fridge/freezer and microwave. Your bedroom is on the ground floor, and has it's own entrance off the front porch. It has a queen-size bed, full-size sofa bed, desk, bookshelves, closet, microwave and even a small fridge/freezer. The large handicapped-accessible bathroom (which was added for my 95-year old mother-in-law's use) was built out into the garage, (which makes it extremely private for you). (The steps up onto the porch do preclude my listing this room as totally handicapped-accessible, but they are few.) In the winter your bathroom tends to be cool; please use the electric heater provided in your room if you wish. In warm weather an air conditioner will be installed in one of your bedroom windows. I am a lover of peaceful country living, and my comfortable home on a dead-end road surrounded by fields and woods is waiting for you! Make it your home base while you explore the Portsmouth NH cultural scene, New Hampshire's wonderful beaches, or shop til you drop at the outlet malls just across the line in Kittery, Maine. If you prefer to just relax here, I am adjacent to the huge Bellamy Wildlife Management Area, where you can go exploring -- hike, bike, birdwatch! Great for snowshoeing and X-country skiing in the winter. I am also close to the Bellamy River, here a tidal tributary of Great Bay, where many people come for the great kayaking. I am only 5 miles from the UNH campus in Durham, and I am 10 miles from Portsmouth, 12 miles to the NH beaches. Easy access to highways. I speak Spanish fluently (my first career was as a Spanish teacher), and have a few phrases of other languages! I look forward to meeting you. Your room has a private entrance, making it ideal for Covid-19 times. Outside areas - front and back porch, grill, yard with swing and field with paths -- are shared with other guests, and are always open to you! Wifi is available throughout the house and yard. I or my assistant manager Debra Ballou will probably meet you when you first arrive, and well see you in passing after that. Coffee and tea is in your room. Please NOTE: I do not serve meals. My trusted caretaker Gerardo Hernandez lives on the premises, and emergency numbers for him, Debra and me are posted in your room. The dead-end road I live on is a quiet place for a short walk, and my neighbors are used to seeing my house guests ambling along. Many locals walk for exercise, or with their dogs or children on my road, as well as all over this neighborhood. The Bellamy Wildlife Management area right across the road from me has several miles of trails through fields and woodlands, as well. There is not public transportation within Dover, but we do have a train station (served by Amtrack) and a bus terminal (served by C & J Bus Company) for travel between Boston and Dover. There is even a direct bus to and from New York City 3 times a day (also with C & J). There are several taxi companies that serve the Dover area, as well as Uber.
