Stays · Pick the room, not the property

Six rooms.Six differenttrips.

A splurge top-floor with a marble wet-room. A treehouse that sleeps four. A long-stay studio with a full kitchen. A step-light ground-floor with a multi-jet spa shower. And a container build under $80. Pick by the trip — not the floor plan.

How to choose

Three honest filters before you scroll.

Most guests pick a room in under a minute once they answer three questions. We put them up front so you don't have to compare six listings to find yours.

  • Stairs or no stairs? Two rooms are step-light. Four are reached by stairs.
  • Cooking or coffee-only? Three rooms have full kitchens. Three have kitchenettes.
  • Solo, couple, or four? Five rooms sleep two. The Treehouse sleeps four.
