The Homestead w/Wine Cellar

Summary:

The Homestead, originally built in the 1880's and just one block off Main St., is a stunning luxury estate which has undergone a recent total renovation. Located in the Historic District, The Homestead consists of two homes (The Main House and The Carriage House) and is ideal for couples, large groups, family reunions, or a large friends retreat. The combined 7 bedrooms sleep 14 comfortably in luxurious beds and has 5 spa inspired baths.



The Space:

The Main House has four bedrooms (two kings, one queen and two twins), three luxurious marble and granite baths, a large kitchen-dining room-living room, and two outdoor gathering spaces, including one with a fire pit. The 12-foot ceilings create an expansive feel to the home, but the highlight of this historic home has to be the private, underground, fully stocked wine cellar!



The Carriage House is situated directly behind the Main House and consists of three bedrooms (two kings, two twins), two luxurious granite and marble baths, a well-appointed kitchen, dinning room, and living area. Enjoy two additional outdoor gathering areas, one of which has a fire pit.



The large driveway provides for four off-street parking spaces. This Homestead is in a prime location just one block off Main St. Shops, Wineries, and restaurants area all just a few minutes walk out the front door!



Guest Access:

✅ This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1500 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $99.99 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $1.5 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.



To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.
