About this apartment rental
Please note we will be traveling and not have access to internet for the month of April. Our instant booking will still be on for May onward, but because internet is not readily available, it may be several days before you receive a reply from me.
Wake up in your relaxing two bedroom carriage house and leisurely make a cup of coffee to start your day. (K pods & French vanilla creamer provided or Mr. Coffee available) or take a 5-7 minute walk down to the Steam Cafe coffee shop and have a latte or breakfast! You will pass by our beautiful new mural, “Shawnee Sunrise”, sit and enjoy at a picnic table …it’s beautiful any time of day!
Or perhaps you want to enjoy greeting the day inside on the comfortable leather sofa. However, my favorite is sitting outside on the comfortable sofa area by the hot tub and enjoying the birds singing and the sound of the fountains running. The coneflowers and patio plants are beautiful as you enjoy our private backyard oasis.
Spring is also a great time for taking a Wildflower Walk. The Giant City State Park is doing guided Trillium Trail walks in April...or you can go on a self-guided hike. It's very kid-friendly and a fun, shorter trail to explore. They post great pictures and insights.
Please note that we have a "no pet" policy so that our next guests with allergies will not have any problems. We want to respect and welcome all our guests.
Enjoy hiking or the bike trail (we have two bikes for guest use), and now we have an electric bike rental business down the street. Ride or walk half a mile to the Tunnel Hill bike trail or half a mile in the opposite direction will take you to our Harrisburg Park. It has a fenced preschool area, lagoon with benches, bridges and flowering trees. It's a great time to get outdoors!
While you are here you can go inside & relax with your favorite shows streaming on the 55" TV or go outside for a soak in the private hot tub. In the living area, we have added a desk, chair, and computer (WIFI is fast) with shortcuts to our favorite trails, restaurants, and activities such as ziplining, kayaking, and horseback riding. Use the keyboard to explore or search the internet so you can “know before you go”. Watch your favorite shows on our 55" Smart TV with Roku (55" Smart TV -Paramount+/Discovery+/Amazon Prime available or sign into your Netflix, Hulu, etc.)
We have an electric fireplace under the Smart TV (ROKU remote) which is so nice for the cooler evenings. Stay connected with fast WIFI. Grill/cook inside or walk to nearby restaurants. Enjoy the fire pit or fireplace, hammock chairs, outdoor Adirondack chairs, and a dining area with charcoal grill.
We also have a washer & dryer available for our guests to use downstairs, in the garage under the Apartment.
The private, upstairs living space, is over 800 square feet, but please, no smoking or pets on property.
We send your door access code and welcome letter to your phone before your visit, so checking in is a breeze.
Our Apartment is in a building detached from house, over our 3-car garage.
Whether you are here for business or exploring the Shawnee Forest, we hope to change your lodging experience by your stay with us. When you are here, relax in this two-bedroom apartment to enjoy your "home away from home"!
Located in the historic part of town, the Apartment is in a separate building from the main house, over a three-car garage. It's three blocks from the town square where you will find several restaurants and a coffee shop.
The front door has a lock code/keypad entrance. Guests receive the door code before their arrival. Free wireless internet access and a desk with computer make it easy to stay connected.

Our library area has some great books, all genres for reading inside or outside in the swinging chair in the patio area. We also have some games in the drawer under the books. We have added a desk and computer for a workstation in this area. It has icons to visit our favorite trails, restaurants, and activities such as ziplining, kayaking, and horseback riding.

The stay was perfect! Great communication with the host. I actually met the host and she was very polite, cheerful - just a delight. The place was spotless and quaint and there was a treat welcoming us. Information was left for what to do in the area and instructions were very clear for check out.The outdoor setting was beautiful, relaxing, and private. If in the area again, I would love to stay there again.

Our stay was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. The hosts were incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive, making sure every detail was just right without ever being intrusive. You can tell they genuinely care about creating a great experience.The space itself was spotless and thoughtfully designed, with every amenity you could possibly need. From the cozy fireplaces to the relaxing hot tub, everything felt both luxurious and comfortable. The inclusion of a fully set-up computer and reliable WiFi was a great bonus, especially for staying connected or getting a bit of work done if needed.The attention to detail throughout the home really stood out—everything was perfectly arranged and clearly well-maintained. On top of that, the location couldn’t have been better: set in a beautiful part of the city that made exploring easy and enjoyable.Overall, this was one of the best stays I’ve had. I would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, well-equipped, and truly welcoming place to stay.The Scarbrough's
