About this property
Family friendly, Full Kitchen, EV Charger Level 2, A/C, Easy Parking, Fireplace
The Lilli Rock Studio is very private and nestled in an ancient forest. The maximum occupancies are a family with two kids. It is the best choice for guests who are looking for spacious and economical accommodations. It offers everything one needs to enjoy their stay. There is a queen size bed, a day bed, and a pull-out single bed on the main floor of the studio. The Bonus Room has a single bed and the rest makes a walk-in closet. Large front yard is a great playground for all ages. Well lit entrance with security door and full size kitchen makes you feel at home. Air-conditioning and wood fireplace creates a romantic atmosphere for couples. Equipped with high speed internet (157 Mbit/s download and 11.5 Mbit/s upload Wi-Fi), the living area has HD Flat Screen, DVD player and selection of DVDs. Games available for kids and the family such as Corn Hole. Chitchat around the picnic table under the tree while watching your younger kids swing. Enjoy the sun in the front yard as you read a book from our large collection in the shade of your favorite tree. Sip a cup of coffee and watch the squirrels chasing each other while a family of deer might stop by and say hello. The studio is cool in the Summer and warm in the Winter. 5 minutes drive to town and restaurants. 10 minutes to many trailheads. Take a stroll on different streets to admire various cabin architectures. When it snows, it is a "Kodak Moment" .

About the host
Hosted by Xiaoli Yu
A retired, Shanghai born American citizen. I enjoy travel around the world and visit many of the national parks and historic sites in the USA. I now choose vacation rental over hotels on my trips because I prefer the homey environment and full amenities which hotels can not offer. That experience encouraged me to post my studio on the market. I look forward to the feel of being a host to a fellow travel guest.
Why they chose this property
We bought this property from my late hubby's aunt and uncle. They obtained a contractor license and supervised the construction in middle 60s. All the materials were the best on the market. The attached and independent studio was the idea of the aunt. She claimed if the couple wanted privacy, they should be in their complete separate space. If they fought, then they could hide and avoid each other for weeks. There used to be a string tied with bells on each end and it went through the floor. That was how they communicated.
We have expanded the property during 2003 to 2011. The total square footage went from 1500 sf to current 3200 sf. The windows were upgraded as was the plumbing, electrical, furnace, and we now use a tankless water heater and new microwave, oven and refrigerator. We leveled the front yard from 2 car parking to 6 car parking. A new upgraded 1500 gallon septic system was also a part of the refurbishment. The exterior siding is fire preventive fiber cement Hardie board. The roof was replaced this spring and is fire rated A1.
In the rental Studio we just installed a split unit air conditioning system last November. My husband was a photojournalist and the "bonus room" in the studio used to be his dark room.

What makes this property unique
This is our second home, guests can enjoy all the benefits on the ground floor. A family can play out door games together such as Corn Hole which we provide. They can sit around the picnic table shaded by trees and tell stories and enjoy their meals. They can relax on the cushioned chairs and watch squirrels chasing each other, occasionally a family of deer will stop by and look for food or fellow wildlife.
