(NOTE: the boxing bag pictured is no longer available in the suite)

Your suite is in the basement of our home and is warm, compared to most basements. Guests have been known to crack the windows open but everyone is different. For those who prefer a warmer, cosier feel, a portable, remote controlled space heater is available so you can set the temperature just the way you like it and where you want it.

We are a quiet family but you may hear the odd sounds from our unit upstairs. Don’t worry. These are few and far between and may involve our floofball of a dog, Kalypso, who is a goldendoodle (a mix of golden retriever and poodle). He rarely barks but makes his presence know every once in a while, especially when the squirrels are on the move.

Your laundry units are located in the utility room where the furnace and electrical controls are located. The sounds of the furnace are dampened for your comfort however, you will hear the white noise of the furnace when it is in operation.

Parking is not available on the driveway with this suite, however you can take advantage of the FREE street parking available but only if you register your vehicle(s) with the City of Pickering. Just go to their website and click through to Parking. The process is simple, immediate and a 21-day permit is granted immediately. Extensions MAY be granted if you make a request for more time.

Oh, and before I forget, you may hear faint sounds of us breaking out into random vocal harmony on a whim. We apologize in advance for, but hope you can enjoy, possible unplanned serenades. These will not be happening during our quiet time.

This is a family neighbourhood. With elementary and high schools nearby, our intention is to welcome guests who will honour our residents. That means no parties, no drama of any kind and no smoking in or around the property.
Guest access
You have full, undisturbed access inside the suite. Should there be the need for any access/maintenance during your stay, we will be sure to give you lots of notice if we need to enter the unit.

You also have designated, enclosed outdoor space on the paved portion of the exterior.

Outside areas may be accessed by host for maintenance, garbage disposal, equipment storage, etc.
