Please be aware that this 1700 sq. ft. house is not child-proofed. It has breakable art inside and in the garden, and is not appropriate for children under the age of 5. There are some vintage art pieces that can be put away if needed to accommodate the 5-10 year olds, yet the mid-century coffee tables and fireplaces are not child friendly. We don't want to dissuade you from considering this property if you have older children - however, let's dialogue about your needs, the safety of your family, and care of the property. Keeping lines of communication open are so important! Thank you!

Our property has a strict No Pets policy due to many guests being allergic to animals. Unfortunately we don't accommodate any exceptions, even knowing that your pet doesn't shed and is well groomed and obedient. Thank you for understanding.
