-The caretaker’s cottage is not available for rent. Our onsite caretaker is available to handle requests/questions throughout your stay. A few other common questions / things to note: Parking: There are two (2) off-street parking spots in the driveway as well as ample street parking (no permit required). For events, we will work with you to arrange offsite parking and/or a shuttle to avoid congestion in the neighborhood. Music: Local regulations require that all outdoor music to stop by 9:00pm, but there are several local bars within a few blocks that people often head to from the house for more late-night festivities. Out of respect for our neighbors, we are very strict about this rule and have decibel meters installed on the property to monitor noise levels. Sleeping Capacity: The main house can sleep up to 16-18 people comfortably. The caretaker’s cottage is no longer available for rent and is occupied by our caretaker who is available for assistance as needed. Tenting: At this time, we only allow tents (max size 15' x 30') on the non-cottage side of the house; tents are not allowed on the corner yard under the oak tree unless by prior written approval. We have our recommended vendor for all tent rentals and we'll work with you to secure the required city permits, but require a minimum of two (2) months notice. Kitchens: There is a large, well-equipped kitchen on site at the rear of the house. It has direct access to the back patio and the cottage yard. There is also a BBQ grill in the back patio. Permits: If you choose to have an event on site, we will apply for any necessary permits on your behalf. The cost of permitting is already included in your event fee. Security: We require private security guards for any afternoon/evening event with more than 50 people. Events larger than 100 people require two (2) guards, and those above 150 require three (3) guards. Approximate cost is $25-$30 per hour, per officer and we can provide a recommended list of companies. Insurance: We require you to purchase private liability insurance for any event on site. This costs around $100 and is available through WedSafe or Progressive/Event Helper. Additionally, we strongly encourage all guests to purchase wedding cancellation/travel insurance. Tours: In terms of the space, the easiest way to get a sense of the layout is to view our floor plans or our Virtual Tour (available upon request). If you'd like to come in person, we do not show the property when we have guests, but with advanced notice can generally arrange a tour during on most weekdays (usually before 9am or after 4pm). Measurements: Layouts for some of the common spaces are available upon request. Here are the approximate measurements of usable space. Cottage Yard: Overall (26’ x 66’) | Lawn (26’ x 60’) | Max Tent Size (20’ x 40’) Back Patio: Overall (12’ x 26’) | Max Tent Size (12’ x 24’ - though trees and string lights may be in the way) Fire Pit: Overall (21’ x 31’) | Max Tent Size (20’ x 30’ - though tight with the trees so recommend smaller) Pool Deck: Overall (16’ x 36’) | Max Tent Size (15’ x 30’) | Dance Floor (15’ x 25')
