Paul and I have been hosting for 8 years now! We've met some terrific people and thoroughly enjoy it!

Why they chose this property

The Cottage WIFI: It features an true enterprise-class wifi network (Ubiquiti 1Gbs 802.11AC Pro meshed hotspots, hub, router and switches) and 200Mbs Internet service, dependably delivering excellent bandwidth to every room, so multiple concurrent video conferencing steams and remote work (for an entire group) are guaranteed to proceed without a problem.

In the evening the living room converts to another bedroom, all that is need is to move a coffee table and pull down the Murphy bed.
There is FREE wifi, and subscriptions to Netflix and Amazon Prime for the TV in the front bedroom. A large air conditioning unit keeps the house cool in the summer. We've outfitted the kitchen extensive with a variety of spices, basics such as sugar, flour, tea along with a cabinet full of pots and pans.
The things we want to find when we travel, we have tried to provide:
The linen closet is full of towels, soft linen, comforters, blankets, extra soap, toilet paper and additional pillows down & fiber.
Under the kitchen sink we provide packet dishwashing soap, unopened sponges, garbage bags and various cleaners.
In the front kitchen closet there is a vacuum, broom and fire extinguisher immediately to the right is the door that leads to the garage. A few steps down take a quick left and the door to your left leads to the laundry in the basement of the cottage.
If you stay for a week or longer the house is warm in the winter cool in the summer and convenient to the areas attractions.
