Important Notes About the Walkout Basement

This is a clean, well-maintained 100-year-old property with a ground-level walkout basement. The basement door is original, which adds to the home’s historic charm.

The entrance is surrounded by plantings, and the driveway is gravel, not paved.

Due to its ground-level location and proximity to landscaping, you may occasionally see a harmless spider or small insect. These are rare but possible and are clearly disclosed in advance.

This home allows pets, which means even after thorough cleaning, it’s possible a single hair from a previous guest’s pet may be found. This is normal in any pet-friendly property.

If you have severe arachnophobia or expect the home to be 100% free of any natural elements, this may not be the right property for you.

We clean thoroughly between guests — however, this is a real home cleaned by humans, not a sealed hotel environment or lab.

By booking, you acknowledge and accept these conditions. If you are looking for a sealed, insect-free, brand-new property, we recommend booking a modern hotel instead.
