Guest access
The space is on the side of the home, separate from the house with no access to the main home. It's secure and just for you. That said, if you need us, we're literally right next door.
Other things to note
We live in the main house and will be available to meet you, provide suggestions, and help if an issue does arise.
Airplanes/ helicopters pass over the downtown area during the day. It can be noisy but is not typically loud. The entire downtown area experiences this, we just want our guests to know ahead of time. We live in the main home so you may hear us or the doggos on occasion.
Note: This home is 136 years old, and although many aspects have been updated and refurbished... it is 136 years old. If an issue arises or you have questions, we live here and are here to help.
