About the host

Hosted by Xiaoli Yu

Host profile image
A retired, Shanghai born American citizen. I enjoy travel around the world and visit many of the national parks and historic sites in the USA. I now choose vacation rental over hotels on my trips because I prefer the homey environment and full amenities which hotels can not offer. That experience encouraged me to post my studio on the market. I look forward to the feel of being a host to a fellow travel guest.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property from my late hubby's aunt and uncle. They obtained a contractor license and supervised the construction in middle 60s. All the materials were the best on the market. The attached and independent studio was the idea of the aunt. She claimed if the couple wanted privacy, they should be in their complete separate space. If they fought, then they could hide and avoid each other for weeks. There used to be a string tied with bells on each end and it went through the floor. That was how they communicated.
We have expanded the property during 2003 to 2011. The total square footage went from 1500 sf to current 3200 sf. The windows were upgraded as was the plumbing, electrical, furnace, and we now use a tankless water heater and new microwave, oven and refrigerator. We leveled the front yard from 2 car parking to 6 car parking. A new upgraded 1500 gallon septic system was also a part of the refurbishment. The exterior siding is fire preventive fiber cement Hardie board. The roof was replaced this spring and is fire rated A1.
In the rental Studio we just installed a split unit air conditioning system last November. My husband was a photojournalist and the "bonus room" in the studio used to be his dark room.

What makes this property unique

This is our second home, guests can enjoy all the benefits on the ground floor. A family can play out door games together such as Corn Hole which we provide. They can sit around the picnic table shaded by trees and tell stories and enjoy their meals. They can relax on the cushioned chairs and watch squirrels chasing each other, occasionally a family of deer will stop by and look for food or fellow wildlife.
