The Retreat on Rogers Street

Keep it simple at this peaceful and centrally-located place located just a half mile from the downtown.

Welcome to this newly completed secondary unit that includes a full kitchen, kitchen island, living space, desk, and bedroom. I want to provide a comfortable and stylish setting for guests that would rival some hotels while making you feel like you are home.

While here, you relax on the patio and light up the fire pit for an evening coffee or refreshment. I store it during the winter, but I can take it out if you enjoy the bitter frost!

Additionally, I listed the parking as “on street” just to be fair and not to appear deceitful. You are more than welcome to utilize the driveway as long as you let me know so my car does not get blocked in for your stay. Guests staying for more than a week can also utilize my washer/dryer for a load or two but it’s on the top floor so I just need a heads up.

PS: my dog is super friendly. You’re welcome to request a visit from him!

On-street parking is readily available and free. You can park on the right side of my driveway as long as you let me know before so I can prepare.

I am within walking distance to the local bus (including UNH), the train station, and downtown. I highly recommend walking to downtown (0.5 miles) and driving everywhere else.

I am here for whatever you need but will give you space during your visit. I will check in via text or message once you arrive, but I’m available.

Located within a half mile to Dover, NH with proper sidewalks.

I recommend a car if traveling to any place outside downtown Dover. You can walk downtown or the nearby bakery (Dustin’s). Also, I am located about 0.75 miles from the train station and a half block to a bus stop so you can get around via public transit if you need it, but a car would be more practical due to lack of regular service.

The living area is located directly next to the room housing the heater/furnace (walled off, of course), which some might find distracting. I tested the noise and was able to comfortably watch tv. I find it no different than most heaters or AC units in a hotel.

Other Things to Know
Furnace room. The living area shares a wall with the unit`s furnace/heater room (fully enclosed). It kicks on occasionally during colder months. We tested it and it`s comparable to a hotel HVAC unit, quiet enough to watch TV through without issue. Worth knowing if you`re a light sleeper.
