THE SPACE
This recently restored studio studio blends farmhouse-cottage character with modern living. Soft interior finishes, hard flooring, and shaker-style cabinetry create a bright, welcoming retreat. The heart of the home is a fully updated kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, white speckled granite countertops, and everything you need to cook real meals—not just reheat takeout.
One standout: in-unit washer and dryer. Many studios skip this entirely, but longer stays and frequent travelers know how much this matters. Whether you're staying a week for work or ten days exploring the area, laundry happens at your pace, not your schedule's.
The bedroom sleeps two comfortably on a cooling gel memory foam mattress—the kind that actually feels good after a long day. Natural light fills the room. The living area anchors around a Samsung UHD Smart TV for entertainment on your downtime, with streaming apps and Wifi included.

This is not optional: our property insurance requires a signed agreement for each stay, and our attorneys have advised the same. It covers house rules, check-in and check-out procedures, occupancy limits, and responsibility for damage. It takes about two minutes, and there is no app to download and no account or password to create. We send it after booking along with a brief check-in form, and your access details follow once both are complete.

Great place to stay when visiting museums and sites
Clean and updated cottage with fully-supplied kitchen and washer/dryer. Unit was spacious enough for 2 adults, in a quiet neighborhood close to downtown, and bed was very comfortable. Owner was easy to communicate with and offered dining suggestions. Would definitely stay again. Thank you.
