Please let us know if you would like us to make up the downstairs convertible sofa, as an extra sleeping spot, before your arrival.

Outdoor & Wildlife Notes
The adjacent fenced yard is shared space and is often frequented by us, our cat, and our four friendly dogs. Nature lovers will feel right at home — the area is alive with birds, pollinators, and seasonal blooms. A rotating number of honey bee hives are located at the far back of the property, and the neighboring property is a Monarch Butterfly Waystation, making this a peaceful and vibrant setting for wildlife watching.
PLEASE NOTE: We have several honey bee hives. They are located towards the back of our property. This is quite far from the guesthouse, but if you're allergic, please be cautious.
ALSO NOTE: If you require one or both of the sofas to be made up for an additional person(s), please let us know before your arrival, as we do not keep linens for the sofa beds in the house.
