This lovely space feels like a sanctuary. We love guests who will treat our space with care, and we want to preserve the old hardwood floor and furnishings. We ask that shoes be removed when inside, coasters be used, please clean up spills, water on the bathroom floor, etc. Our neighbors appreciate it when you turn the outside lights off for the night.
