The space
OMG – so darn cute! Meet “Half Pint!” This tiny guest house will win your heart – and your dog’s heart, too! It’s situated behind the main house, but with its own rear private entrance to the property from a parallel access road. Roll up and park just outside the whimsical red door in the fence. Open it and find a tidy yard with a picket fence and a sitting area with cheerful Adirondack chairs and a table. It’s a lovely private place to unwind with a beverage and let the dog romp.
Follow a tidy concrete path to the door of your winning blue cottage and step inside. Find yourself in a cozy Roku TV room with a loveseat. An open doorway leads into a surprisingly spacious eat-in kitchen with a bar-height table and two stools next to a wide window that spills uplifting natural light into the space (but with blinds for privacy when you want it). Enjoy plenty of counter space and cabinets, along with a refrigerator/freezer, full-size range with cooktop and oven, a double-basin sink, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, tea kettle, and window air conditioning. Cook up a storm – you’ve got the space and the tools!
The corner bedroom is bright and cheerful with windows on two walls, both with privacy blinds. A full-size bed is tucked in beneath a cozy sloping ceiling and there’s a closet for keeping your wardrobe neat and handy. An “en suite” bathroom provides a combination tub/shower, just in case you want to indulge in a post-hike soak. The sink vanity provides storage below for toiletries.
Radiant baseboard heating in each area of the home.
Hotel-grade linens are professionally laundered after every visit.
This home is managed by a local vacation rental specialist, and there’s a sense of quality and care that’s worthy of your 5-star review.
