Other things to note
**Quirks of The House

- This house was built in 1893. Although we have a modern kitchen and bathroom, we’ve taken care to restore it back to 1893. There are antiques and the floor creaks.

- If you are a light sleeper, each bedroom is equipped with a white noise machine that has various tones and sounds to drown out noises.

- Spills and puddles of water must be cleaned up promptly including the bathroom. This will help preserve our floors for years to come.

- We are a super safe college town. However, for piece of mind, each driveway parking spot has a motion detection camera.

- There is a winding set of stairs to ascend to Rupp Loft.

- The bathroom in Rupp Loft is small but functional. The shower ceiling may be low for those over 6ft.

-Please be aware that the laundry room is in a 120 year old basement. Although we have updated and renovated the home, some old home characteristics are still present.

**Pets

- There will be an added $30 a night fee, per pet, per night, if we accept your pet request.
- You must inquire about your pet before booking. 3 max pets.

I'm obsessed with: old houses and animals
Speaks English
My husband and I love anything old or interesting. And enjoy sharing our historic properties with guests! We run a business called Restore and Clean, rehabilitate old houses - but when we aren't working, we enjoy playing with our three dogs, and hanging with our mini pigs, horses, donkeys, alpacas, chickens, ducks and geese. We live on the edge of Hays and can be to you within 5-10 minutes should you need anything during your stay.
