There are large-screen Smart TVs in both the master bedroom and the living room, each wired to the internet and local channels. There is WiFi throughout.

Fenced-in backyard features all-new patio. We are still putting the finishing touches on the detached, un-heated Casita in backyard. Casita is wired for electricity and will offer seating and a table. Casita has double French doors that can be opened from the inside to create an indoor/outdoor space for relaxing when the weather is nice. The Casita entrance is a sliding door on the SIDE.

Full kitchen has your essentials like cookware, plates, bowls, glasses, mugs and utensils. There is a full-size refrigerator, stove, oven, and microwave, plus counter space. There is also a drip coffee maker and toaster. All cabinets and marble countertops are brand new.

The small bathroom has a bathtub with shower, toilet and compact vanity with counter. All fixtures including tub, toilet, sink and cabinets are brand new.

The Unit is all at one level, however, the front door (porch) and the back door exit to backyard have a couple of steps to climb or descend. We apologize that this makes our cottage not accessible for wheelchair-bound guests, or those individuals unable to use stairs.

There is another unit at the lower level of the house.

There is off-street parking for 1 car in the area between the street and yard (gravel).
