The studio, affectionately named The Cupboard Atop the Stairs (any Harry Potter fans?), is its own private space. It contains a B&B Italia queen bed with luxury bedding, kitchenette, fold out lighted desk, large updated bath, and hi-speed WiFi.
The studio is perfect for singles or couples, and is pet friendly. Can also accommodate a child. Portable crib available upon request.

On occasion, you might spot someone in the yard gardening. Guests may also access the washer/dryer in the garage, and may store bikes, kayaks or other recreation equipment on the property.

Other Details
To customize your stay, please let us know your preference on our 100% cotton luxury bedding (sateen, linen or percale), and your favorite flavor of Girl Scout cookies (seasonal).
This is a family home with an art studio, so you may see some personal items about, or a curious cat through a window. Everything inside your accommodations and in the outside space is available for your use. And if you need anything additional, just ask! Thereâs enough parking for several cars.
We are pet friendly and can welcome one dog. Reach out with details about your pet or any questions before booking. A small dog (up to35lbs) would be most comfortable in the space.
