**Accommodations and Amenities**
Please note that the downstairs bedroom is quite small featuring two twin beds (only) that can be converted into a king if needed; however, it is important to mention that there is not a separate king bed and two twin beds. The downstairs bedroom is cozy, making it a snug retreat after a day of exploration.
We are also dog-friendly and would be happy to consider your furry companions, as we love dogs! This topic is open for discussion. Our little family resides full-time in the "barn" at the back of the property, along with our adorable dog, Charlie girl, who adds to the warm, welcoming atmosphere to our home.
More information available upon request, so please feel free to reach out via email with any questions you may have. We look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful corner of Cape Cod!
