The property is a little Oasis in the middle of town! You have the convenience of being in town, yet the property and cottage are very private. This is a unique stay! Craftsman touches throughout, eco friendly self sustainable urban homestead.Meander down a quant little path to come upon our little oasis cabin! You are met my a lush backyard full of life. Large trees, an ivy wall, and a 100+ year old grape arbor make you feel like you could be in another country. This lovely little cabin has tall ceilings and abundant light. It is complete with unique craftsman touches of woodwork and tile. Inside is a kitchen cart complete with a coffee pot, electric kettle, as well as small convection oven/toaster. Cups etc. Local coffee and a great selection of teas provided as well. A fridge. A table and chairs to enjoy your tea/coffee/food. An electric fireplace keeps the cabin cozy in the cooler months. The cabin has its own bathroom right off the cabin with a composting toilet as well as a private outdoor (covered) shower with an on demand hot water heater right next to the cabin. All sheets/blankets/towels provided. I have an electric burner plate and pots/pans utensils upon request.
You will have the cottage to yourself as well as a private bathroom and a private outdoor shower. Common areas are the large yard which has a fire pit and charcoal bbq. You are welcome to relax in the yard and use any of the things mentioned above. For those who are traveling with children, we have a trampoline and swings which hang from our large shade tree.
We are an easy going 2 person household. We live in the Main house on the same lot as the cottage. You may see me wandering around the garden space in the back or doing some yard work, and my daughter playing in the back yard. This is what I call an Urban farm, we typically always have something growing, have composting piles, and love harvesting our own food and herbs. We love visitors and are happy to interact as much or as little as you'd like. Make yourself at home in our back yard! Sit at one of our patio tables and relax and pick some grapes or plums while your at it :)
We are in a fairly quiet neighborhood which is diverse and safe. We are only a 2-5 min drive from downtown medford which has a wide array of coffee roasters, cafes, bakeries and bars as well as MANY food trucks to choose from. Only a 7 min bike ride or 20 min walk! Be sure to check out the "butter cloud bakery" for a delectable treat or "Over easy" for some of the best breakfast/brunch in town. Take a walk on one of the many tree and rose lined streets and admire the Historic district nearby.
*** Following the practices of becoming a semi self sufficient urban homestead, we have installed a composting toilet in the bathroom. Don't be deterred by this! It is easy to use, looks just like a regular toilet, is non smelly and clean! (instructions posted in bathroom) ***The shower uses an on demand propane water heater which is also easy to use, you will have abundant amounts of hot water to use! *** Bathroom sink is ONLY cold water and located outside. *** In order to keep costs low, and convenience high, we have opted to outfit this cottage for simplicity and convenience. If your needs are unmet, please let us know, as we have myriad borrowable options that we can bring right over *** NO PETS please
Get ready for a unique stay!
