A gentle reminder that this is a large home and the cost of upkeep/utilities is the same regardless of group size. Rentals for large groups must reflect the number of individuals staying in the property as I cannot allow significant discounts. Please be respectful of this.
there is also a sectional sleeper sofa with full-sized mattress.
ALL mattresses and pillowcases have been encased to prevent bedbugs, allergens, and are waterproof.
HOUSE LAYOUT:
I decided to write up layout of the bedrooms/beds and available options so you can make a better decision on who goes where, etc. I’ve named the bedrooms to avoid confusion.
So the ground floor/1st floor has a small bedroom (Fairfield) with a queen bed. It has a full bathroom as well. So it’s like a very small master suite. To get to this bathroom, you must walk through Fairfield bedroom. Fairfield is next to the kitchen; hence, it is ideal for anyone with mobility concerns.
The 2nd floor has 3 bedrooms. 2 of the bedrooms have connecting smaller bedrooms. One bedroom (Wayne) is quite large & has 2 queen beds in this room. There is a sliding door in Wayne that leads to another small bedroom (Union) with twin bunk beds. Union is about 80sf. Union also has its own door to the hallway as well.
There is a small bedroom (Ewing) with a queen bed. It’s about 110sf. No connecting rooms. Softer bed.
Lastly, there is Van Buren room with a queen bed. This room connects to the solarium (Harrison). The solarium (100sf) has a twin daybed with a twin trundle. To get to Harrison from the hallway, you must walk through Van Buren.
In addition, I have finished the attic. There is a 4th bathroom in the attic. Each floor has 1 full bathroom. The attic has a full-sized futon. So if someone wants to stay up here, it is possible. I do have to charge a bit more - mostly to cover the housekeeper cleaning fee as it is another 700 sf. But with larger groups, it does allow for people to spread out more comfortably.
If you want to use the attic, there will be a one time charge of $150 to cover housekeeping & utilities. But you can also decide after you arrive & check out the house. I will send you all the door codes just before you check-in.
