— The Space —
Boho Garden Bungalow is a quaint, quiet, and delightfully quirky older home, rich with charm inside and out. With hardwood floors, an exposed brick chimney, and a decorative wood-burning stove (LED flicker-flame candles provided), the space blends relaxed Bohemian style with cozy comfort.

The gardens are truly special: meandering stone pathways, a solar-powered fountain, a shaded pergola with table and chairs, a hammock chair, and an antique peacock swing — all offering shade, privacy, and a peaceful retreat. At the edge of the garden, you’ll find a charming shed repurposed as an outdoor bar with boho flair.

The full kitchen includes a refrigerator, freezer with ice maker, stove, dishwasher, microwave, and Keurig coffee maker. A reusable coffee filter is provided so you can brew your own coffee or enjoy a locally roasted blend from the well-stocked coffee, tea, and snack bar.

The living room offers seating for six and features a 40" Samsung Smart TV with Roku, allowing you to stream your favorite services using your own accounts.

Bedroom 1 features rich navy walls, a super-comfortable queen bed with high-end linens, and a beautiful white peacock scrolled wicker headboard. There’s a chest of drawers and a walk-in closet stocked with hangers, extra blankets and pillows, plus a Pack ’n Play, highchair, baby bath, and a twin-size folding mattress with linens for a fifth guest.

Bedroom 2 is small, cozy, and decorated in cheerful colors, with a full-size bed, floating nightstands, and dimmable wall lighting. An alcove near the closet includes a wall-mounted desk and chair (additional seating options available) for remote work. The closet includes a chest of drawers, hangers, extra blankets, and pillows.

Inspired by the peacock headboard and vintage peacock swing, the house and garden feature peacocks and feathers throughout — all proudly displayed (none hidden!). See if you can spot them all as part of a fun scavenger hunt for the whole family.

Great area and very walkable. Neighborhood is peaceful. The well-stocked kitchen makes you feel welcome and comfortable. The beds could be more supportive and comfortable, and the TV screen was a bit small. Overall, a thumbs up!

A sweet little 1920s cottage with both original details and wise updates. So many thoughtful touches made this a unique and very comfortable stay. Highly responsive owner with great communication. Full-size appliances, impeccable cleanliness, and lots of whimsy. It was a true retreat from some intense training I was undergoing. I very much enjoyed staying at this property and hope to return some day.
