Feels Like Home - Close to Downtown!

Private retreat in a charming duplex‑style home. Private entrance/no shared spaces. A well‑equipped kitchen makes cooking effortless. Get laundry done before you head home! Enjoy your favorite beverage on the front porch. You’ll be close to downtown’s best restaurants, bars, coffee shops, breweries, & museums. Sound travels easily between the units (footsteps, voices, laughter, and everyday activity) so I ask all guests to be respectful of the guests on the other side of the wall.
