Guests enjoy walking to the basketball court or park just down the road, or a more generous walk to Chaps Coffee & Restaurant, Yoke’s supermarket, Latah Bistro, Subway, gas station or local drive-thru coffee stand called Latah Latte.

There are approximately 6 steps up to the front door with handrails on both sides. You'll enter the front door and the open-concept top floor welcomes you! There are two bedrooms at the front of the home, with one common bathroom including toilet, tub insert with glass shower enclosure and vanity mirror for getting ready. These bedrooms have closets for hanging your clothes in or tucking away your belongings to help you feel more comfortable. At the back of the home, the third bedroom on this floor is the primary room with king bed, en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower and jetted tub, toilet, double sinks and plenty of storage. This room also has direct access to the upstairs balcony with windows overlooking the hillside and all the views! This floor also has the kitchen with breakfast bar, dining area and living room with smart TV, Xfinity cable service and gas fireplace. The laundry room and mudroom to the garage are off the kitchen, with SpeedQueen washer and dryer. The 3-car garage offers parking out of the elements, and this is also where we store the trash and recycling bins. We have a single-cup coffee maker here with coffee and tea available. The kitchen has basic cooking supplies and utensile, serving dishes and cups, an Instant Pot, a toaster and a blender.

From the dining room, if you head downstairs (approx 16 stairs), you'll find the second entertainment room with another smart TV, couch and plenty of room to stretch your legs. There are a few toys and games for the kids (Legos, boardgames) and a play rug for them to use as well. This open area is mostly hardwood and the sliding door opens to the lower-level back deck which has stairs down to the yard. Two bedrooms on this level have queen beds, both at the back of the house. One bedroom has en-suite bathroom and the other bathroom is in a common area, off the entertainment room. Both of these bathrooms have shower/tub inserts, toilet and vanity with sink to get ready. The third bedroom on this floor has two double beds, a closet and additional board games for guests' enjoyment.

We do have a recording device on the outside of the home for safety and security. Camera(s) do record video and sound, but we respect guest privacy so we only look at the cameras if an issue arises during or after your stay. The front camera is a Ring camera at the front door and faces the street. Our after-hours team does not have access to the Ring account so please do not ring the bell. If you encounter access issues, please call our 24/7 phone line. No cameras are mounted in, nor do they face/record any private, guest-only areas.

We do require guests to e-sign a vacation rental agreement for stays of any length prior to check in. We request guests fill out a check-in form so that we can best prepare for your stay.

While most reservations go through without a hitch, we understand that sometimes things happen. We want to offer our guests the best and most price-effective option for those incidents that we hope do not occur. We found that damage deposits can be costly, frustrating and we don't want to hold any of your hard-earned money 'just in case'.
For Airbnb reservations: We do not charge a damage deposit on site because Airbnb offers AirCover.
For non-Airbnb reservations: We charge a nightly fee for damage insurance in lieu of charging a damage deposit. This fee is nonrefundable and should be added to your reservation at checkout. If it is not, we will contact you to process payment for this charge. This fee pays for protection through a third-party company and covers property damage that may occur during your stay.

After booking confirmation, you have the option to purchase third-party travel insurance for up to 14 days prior to your stay. Please reach out via message if you're interested in travel insurance.

Airbnb does their own guest screening and we do ours.
For non-Airbnb reservations, we use a quick and simple third party guest screening service. Please watch for this email and complete the appropriate steps. Message/call us if you encounter any problems or have questions about this service. We require non-Airbnb guests to submit documents to verify identity and perform background screening, which occurs through a third-party company to Safely. Cancellation policy applies to reservations that are cancelled due to guests not reading this requirement in the listing and not wanting to perform the background screening.

If you request check in less than 48 hours in advance, we will ask for a photo of your Identification matching the method of payment used, and meet you on site for check in to verify your reservation is for the booked guest. (Subject to change. Please message us with questions.)
