3. Is the property pet-friendly?

Yes, we warmly welcome up to two well-behaved dogs. To ensure the safety of the property and our surrounding wildlife, dogs must be at least 2 years old. The entire 20,000-square-foot garden is fully enclosed by a secure wood fence, allowing your dogs to roam safely off-leash. We kindly ask that you clean up after your pets to avoid a $100 yard cleanup fee.

4. Does the host live on the property?

Yes. Maya (the owner and host) lives in a completely separate, independently fenced-off residence (House B) located 200 feet away at the back of the property. Guests enjoy the exclusive use of the entire front house (House A) and the surrounding 20,000 square feet of gardens. Maya will provide a brief, warm greeting upon arrival to ensure you have everything you need, after which your complete privacy is fully respected.

5. What are the check-in and checkout times?

  • Check-in: Anytime after 3:00 PM.

6. What is your noise and quiet hours policy?

We are located in a peaceful, historic residential neighborhood that is highly sensitive to noise. Official quiet hours are strictly enforced from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM. Because sound carries easily from the outdoor jacuzzi, all outdoor paths, decks, and spa lights turn off automatically at 10:00 PM. Host noise interventions carry a fee, and a $500 fine is automatically assessed if local authorities are called to quiet the property. Parties and amplified outdoor music are strictly prohibited.

7. What food and amenities are provided upon arrival?

We provide a "Welcome Fridge" service so you can skip the immediate grocery run. Your refrigerator will be pre-stocked with fresh milk, organic eggs, butter, artisanal sourdough bread, and fresh coffee beans. The pantry is also stocked with baking mixes and complementary s'mores supplies for the fire pit. Additionally, all bathrooms feature complimentary shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner.
