IMPORTANT BOOKING NOTE:
Our home is in a peaceful residential neighborhood and is best suited for guests seeking a relaxing stay. We strictly enforce our Quiet Hours policy from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM—this means no outdoor noise, loud voices, or music during these hours.
If your trip planning involves late-night gatherings, loud parties, or amplified music, our home will not be a good fit. We use neighborhood-friendly noise monitoring devices (which measure volume levels, not conversations) and may terminate the stay without refund if the policy is violated.
We welcome respectful guests who will enjoy the property and treat our neighbors with consideration. If that sounds like you, we’d be delighted to host you.
