  • We love this 140 year-old home, and we ask that you help us care for it:

    No Pets: To protect the home and honor guests with allergies, pets are not permitted under any circumstances.

    Quiet Hours: 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.—the neighborhood rests at night.

    No Parties: Gatherings and events require a separate Event Rental Agreement. Any gathering of more than six (6) people, or involving outside vendors (caterers, entertainment, photographers), qualifies as an event.

    No Smoking: Smoking or vaping is not allowed inside the home.

    Occupancy: Overnight guests are limited to (4). At no time may more than six (6) people be on the property without Host’s written approval.

    Please follow the parking and waste guidelines provided in your welcome materials. Violation of these guidelines may result in early termination of the stay without refund.

  • Professional Add-Ons: We offer optional enhancements including professional photography, on-site yoga, custom happy hour set ups, and more. Please inquire if interested.

    Transit-Friendly Location: We’re less than one block from the Light Rail, with a Walk Score in the “Walker’s Paradise” range. Most guests find a car optional.

    Urban Environment: While the Cottage sits in a relatively quiet residential pocket, it is still part of a lively urban neighborhood. You will hear light rail activity, cars, and the general rhythm of city life.

    Parking: Street parking is available using the provided parking pass. Failure to return the parking pass will result in a fee. Private gated parking is available on site in lieu of the courtyard setup with advance notice.

    Accessibility: Due to the home’s historic 1885 high-water design, accessibility is limited. All indoor spaces require use of stairs. Outdoor patio and garden areas are at ground level.

    Meetings & Private Gatherings: City Cottage serves as a venue for meetings, creative sessions, long table dinners and catered private gatherings. These may not be hosted by guests independently, and must be arranged exclusively through a separate event agreement. Any gathering of more than six (6) people, or involving outside vendors (caterers, entertainment, photographers), qualifies as an event.

  • Guests may cancel for a full refund, minus payment processing fees, for up to 24 hours after the reservation is confirmed, as long as the reservation was confirmed at least 7 days before check-in (based on the listing’s local time).

    If a guest cancels between 14 and 30 days before check-in, but after the 24-hour cancellation period, they’ll receive a 50% refund of the total booking amount, including full taxes.

    Cancellations made less than 14 days before check-in will receive no refund.

    In cases of documented medical emergencies, extreme weather that prevents safe travel, or other extraordinary circumstances, Capitol City Cottage may offer a credit toward a future stay or event. Credits are discretionary, non-transferable, and valid for 12 months.

  • Exterior security cameras on property: For the safety of our guests and the property, Capitol City Cottage has exterior-only security cameras. Cameras are located at the front entry, side courtyard, and backyard gate. They monitor exterior access points 24/7. There are no cameras inside the home.

    Capitol City Cottage is equipped with other safety measures, including:

    • smoke alarms

    • carbon monoxide detetctors

    • fire extinguisher

    • fire blanket

    • escape ladders in each bedroom
