Dining: off of the kitchen you will find a dining room with a built-in table and bench. Space-saver highchair available in the laundry closet, if needed.
Living Room: when you walk in the front door, you will be greeted by a cozy welcome area, and the family room with two queen sized pull-out-couches (bedding located in the upstairs bedroom closet) and an overstuffed chair. The living room also offers a 65” flat-screen smart TV to allow you to login to all your favorite streaming services during your stay.
Bedrooms: on the second level you will find three bedrooms and a full bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are equipped with queen beds, and the other bedroom has two queen beds in it.

Pack-N-Play available in a bedroom closet if needed.
Kid Zone/Game Room: On the third and final floor, which is the finished attic, you will find a smart TV with a Wii system and games, fun seating, game tables, and a full bathroom. The attic is finished with A/C and Heat, but do note due to it being an older home, the temp does not always keep up with the other levels perfectly. Ceilings and doorways are also lower in some areas, so watch your head if you join the kids for some gaming!
