Cozy home on a quiet street minutes to downtown Kingston!

*** Offering 30% discount on weekly stays and 45% off monthly stays ***
Amenities will be provided during long-term stays.

Registration number: LCRL20230000666

Welcome! This 470 square foot, minimalistic home is located just 1.3 km to the 401, 2.6 km to Princess Street, 7-8km to the West End, 3-4km to CFB Kingston, 3.6 km to KGH and Queen's University, 7 km to St. Lawrence College. Bus stop is a 2 minute walk away!

This home is suitable for short or long-term stays as it includes laundry, a full kitchen, a double Douglas mattress in the bedroom, a queen-size sofa-bed in the living room, wi-fi, smart tv and free parking for two vehicles in the driveway.
The heat and air conditioning are guest controlled. There is a window air conditioner in the living room but not the bedroom as the window is too small. The bedroom door must be kept open to cool it.

Property has two houses and both are short-term rentals. They are completely separate and self-contained and have separate driveways. The other house on the property is called Charming Family/Pet Friendly Home, Minutes to DT! https://www.vrbo.com/en-ca/supply/home?propertyId=112016506.
Please enquire about Charming Home about availability if travelling with more than 4 people.

When you see the house for the first time you may think "We're staying in a garage!" and that's because you are! I met several people while renovating/decorating the house and found out about 50 years ago there was a skate sharpening business in the basement of the main house on the property. The grandmother of the person that did the skate sharpening lived in this short-term rental. I do not know when the garage was converted into a residence but it was at least 50 years ago.

There are too many businesses to list that are up to a 5 minute drive/15 minute bus ride/30 minute walk! Please look at Google Maps to see the conveniences nearby.
Please ensure you walk across the beautiful scenic Waaban Crossing Bridge which takes you across the Cataraqui River and links the East end of Kingston to the downtown area. You can walk this directly from your house! Just walk towards Montreal Street, turn left at the stop sign, walk to Big Bites and cross the street toward the River and you're at the Bridge!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Very nice place to stay!

Host Shannon was very friendly and helpful and quick to respond to messages when we had questions. She came right over when he had an issue with the lock. The little house had everything we needed and was very clean. We were able to adjust the temp for our comfort. The place had a neat little yard for us to take our dog out. We would book again if we are ever in the Kingston area! Thanks Shannon for being a wonderful host!
