We are two women, 3 cats, and 1 dog living within walking distance of our historic downtown pedestrian mall: On city bus line, close to Greyhound & Amtrak stations. Our guest bedroom has a double futon bed and it's own heating/cooling unit. Two bathrooms (one just for guests). We are non-smokers & live simply. Kitchen privileges but no microwave. Wifi, but no cable TV. Solar power, eco-friendly, forest garden.
~"Quiet Hours" 10:00 PM - 7:00 AM (However, once checked-in, you can come and go as you please.)
~We recycle and conserve energy & water as much as possible. We hope you will too and we will try to make this easy for you.
~Sometimes we allow pets, depending on how they will get along with our dog and cats. We can talk about this.
Household information:
~We have 3 cats and 1 dog; although we vacuum thoroughly between each guest, and keep the pets out of our guest bedroom, staying at our home is not advised for people with cat or dog allergies.
~Early to bed; early to rise...This is our normal pattern. We're fairly quiet folks, but you may hear us doing early morning chores and getting ready for work.
~We have solar panels which provide about 80% of our electricity needs.
~We also have solar hot water.
~We do a lot of cooking, including meat a few times a week. There will often be the aroma of good home-cooked food wafting about the house.

The neighborhood:

"A dynamic place where history is intertwined with a thriving city center, this vibrant historic district is full of live theater, music and cinema.
