This is the second space we've built to share on airbnb. Our enchanting roundhouse has been a favorite for eight years. This second space is more self-sufficient. (It's also twice the size -- approximately 400 square feet.) It is upstairs, the full-size bed is tucked into a corner, and some passages are rather narrow. That's intentional, to add to the charm. But you should know it before you book. There's also a glass oculus in the center of the turret floor. The glass is over an inch thick. It's completely safe to walk on it. Many are intrigued how the light from beneath "breaks up" the space. Others prefer to cover it with the carpet circle provided for this purpose. Directly beneath the turret, we have a small dining area that we make available to guests for an extra $10 per night. It's perfect for those who would like a bit more room. (It's otherwise left vacant.) If you can't find that "deluxe" option (We call the "loftier apartment"), we can point you there. Just message us. This space is completely self-contained (separate entrance, heat & cooling controls, full kitchen and bath), but it is connected to our main house so there is a little bit of "auditory overlap." In other words, you may hear a coffee pot in the morning. The upstairs space has everything that most guests need. The spiral staircase opens to a dining area below that is unoccupied when guests are upstairs. That downstairs space is separated from the main house by glass walls and plush theatre curtains. Another glass wall and more theatre curtains separate the spiral stair and dining area from the laundry room at the back of the house, which is available to all guests. As another Superhost put it so elegantly, the space is private, but not "honeymoon private." If absolute privacy is your thing, great! We recommend you try booking our Oregon Roundhouse instead. Our listings include a 9.5% room tax assessed by the city of Eugene. Those added funds are used to promote tourism and other good things around Lane County. MISCELLANEOUS NOTES: #1. We have a neighborhood lending library at the curb, where the walkway begins for your entry. If you brought a book on your trip that you've just finished, feel free to leave it there for a neighbor to enjoy. Or help yourself to one, if something catches your eye. #2. Before you confirm your reservation, please double-check certain details. Have you inputted the correct dates and are you reserving for the correct number of guests? This is important because those details may alter the price you're being quoted. (We give solo travelers the lowest possible rate. All others pay a bit more.) #3. Our check-in time is usually (anytime after) 3 pm. Occasionally, we can accommodate early arrivals, or luggage drop-off before the space is cleaned. We always appreciate knowing roughly when you expect to arrive. That helps us prepare. #4. We send all our guests an email with detailed instructions and up-to-the-minute details for their visit. Please send us your best email address after you've made your reservation. #5. We have a (slight) presence on social media, so if you feel the urge to take pictures and share them with your friends, we'd love it if you'd tag us at "aloftapt"and "dksez"....
