The space
This is a private guest cottage on a large, historic property. The guest cottage has been recently renovated and decorated with an "extended stay" feel. The cottage has a living area, sitting/work area, bedroom, full kitchen, and full bath. At just over 500 s.f. there is ample space for you to relax and unwind. Pets are accepted but you MUST NOTIFY at the time of the booking request for the pet fee.

Other things to note
A few important things to note BEFORE YOU BOOK:

1. This is the historic district so there are some fabulous older houses in the area. There are also a number of areas of blight where properties have not been maintained. If you drive around you will see what I mean. Nevertheless, the property you are renting is maintained and offers you a very comfortable and affordable stay.

2. This is the port in Beaumont. There is intermittent noise from the trains at different hours. For the most part, they try not to blow the horns at night, but you may occasionally hear it. There is also street traffic nearby so you may get some car noise or street lights. For the most part, this is not a disturbance for most guests but something you should be made aware of.

3. This is an old property. There will be issues with things like the plumbing or a/c, etc. I have a repairman that stays on call for when these issues pop up. Please contact me when there is an issue so that I can address it immediately. I do not want to find out after a week or two that there was a leak at the toilet. This affects the quality of your stay and impacts my repair damage later. I can only address what I am made aware of.

4. You are a guest in my home. While Airbnb makes this kind of stay affordable--which also makes it attractive to someone looking to not spend a lot on lodging--you are still in fact a guest in someone's home. The nominal cleaning fee that is charged for each stay goes toward the work it takes to give you a clean place to stay in. When you arrive, you find a clean home. Please do not trash the place. Please clean up after yourself. Please do not take things that do not belong to you. Be respectful.

5. A bad review means that something was not properly communicated. I may not always cover everything upfront, but I am always available if something comes up. JUST ASK. I love making guests happy, but I don't know if something is an issue until you make me aware. Please remember that I have had hundreds of guests come through my home over the years. Most of my rules have been developed based on the average of what a guest might like. If there is room to make an adjustment for the comfort of your stay, I will likely accommodate it. Hospitality is an art that requires feedback. I would prefer that feedback to be ongoing and not at the end of the stay when I no longer have the chance to address an issue.

I strive each day to bring a sense of Southern hospitality into my home for each invited guest!
