Just beyond the French doors is a den with a half bath enclosed by a frosted window barn door. There is a tv and dedicated working space with self service WiFi printer is available.

Beautiful historic house. Spacious and clean. We had a great time staying here. Would definitely come back and recommend to others! Check in/out process was very easy (:
I would love to give this property 0 stars! she cancelled on us 45 minutes before check in! for absolutely no reason. she said non compliance with house rules and told VRBO it was because we did not acknowledge the rules. we signed off on the rules when we booked the property and she sent me an email confirming the rules but did not ask us to respond. Apparently my 56 year old self in town for TWO days on business and my 20 year old nephew that I brought to see the new Highpoint Climbing gym were planning on throwing a WILD party! Thank god for VRBO customer service who refunded our money immediately and are also reimbursing us for our two hotel rooms that we had to book on the fly! Thank god for mariott and thousands of rooms in the orlando area! But stay away from this property- it absolutely was shocking to pull up at a gate at orlando int. and realize you are homeless for absolutely no reason!
