Cottage:
Located in the garden, the converted Tuff Shed includes a lofted full bed and a sleeper loveseat. Please note that the cottage is separate from the main house, and the lofted bed is high—it may not be suitable for small children. It’s ideal for a teen, young adult, or another couple.

About the host
Hosted by Faith Hansen
My husband and I spending the year living on campus as faculty-in-residence so the house you are renting is our own. We love our little oasis in the middle of the Bench, and we hope you love it as well.
Why they chose this property
We love this neighborhood. It is just a block from a busy street where you can get great sushi and BBQ but with the corner lot and large yard, it feels totally private and serene
