• Bedroom 3: Queen bed with an attached private bathroom (shower).

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.

Because we require ample time to meticulously clean and reset the historic estate for our next guests, unauthorized late checkouts incur a $150 fee. Early luggage drop-off can be arranged before your arrival day if requested.

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.

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.
