About this property
Cozy Studio Cottage on "The Hill," walkably close to everything! The Zoo, Park!!
Check-in 2: P M or later. Check-out 11:00 AM. or earlier. The "Hill Cottage" has a fully stocked kitchen, large back deck, with table and chairs for outdoor smoking and dining outdoors. Pets? Yes- $20. fee.
Mediteranium show tub with glass tiles, triple shower heads, one being a large "rainshower". It has skylight windows, a newer pillowtop memory foam queen size mattress, and gleaming white faux marble ceramic floors. Completely private, quiet, restful, the perfectly clean place to relax and explore the delights of the Hill. Extra sheets and towels, blankets, a large walk-in closet to hang your clothes and store your suitcases out of sight. A huge T V. , Wifi, easy key entry, self check-in. Best privacy. Lush with plants, flowers, and greenery. Host available next door if you need help with anything. Plus we have "instant book" and we're moderate

Park on the street in the front of the brick-front house or nearby.
To enter the cottage, just walk up the short, lighted driveway and through the unlocked chain length small gate. At that point you can see the cottage. We like to briefly welcome new guests, but we also accommodate self check-in . If you choose to check yourself in, the key will be on the doorknob,. There is a lockbox on the gate providing a spare in case you lose your key or lock yourself out. (Code provided after booking, along with ph.#. ) wifi code is posted inside. Pay owner for pet fees- 20. per pet per night. Please bring cash and pay on arrival. Less for longer-term stays. See John, Mary, or Aimee. Welcome to "The Hill"!

About the host
Hosted by Mary Stuart
I'm a happy person. God blessed me with 7 children! They are all grown and have families. My grandchildren are now a great joy to me. (11) and 5 ggreat grandchildren. I enjoy hosting, baking, writing poetry, growing flowers and gardening, swimming and the woods.
Why they chose this property
Why NOT this property? It's the perfect cottage in the perfect location. And I love accommodating people, knowing they are having fun and/or getting important things accomplished. And I am being helped nicely with my personal finances. Thank you all for helping me help others who need and deserve it.
What makes this property unique
I have met so many wonderful people, by hosting, that I never would have had the chance to meet! Teachers, nurses, a professor, a cross-country biker, entrepreneurs of all descriptions! These people have enriched my life in ways they can't imagine, even though we were like freight trains that passed in the night, I will never forget them.
Premier Host
They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
