Pet friendly, please read our pet policies. Tilly, your host's friendly dog will be on site with her on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays - she loves other dogs and people. She may give a howl when she sees you out of excitement but other than that she’s quiet.
There is minimal cell service in Ashfield but the chalet has high speed WiFi which allows texts, video streaming and calls. There is also a landline.
THE PROPERTY & HERBAL GARDENS:
The chalet sits on a larger property that is also home to a small herbal product company and surrounding herbal gardens, which may be visible during your stay. These gardens are part of the landscape and contribute to the peaceful, natural setting.
The host works on the property a few days per week, primarily in the apothecary workspace, while guest use is centered on the private chalet and wooded areas.
Near the road, there is a small farm apothecary store open to the public sunrise to sunset, offering locally made herbal products. Visiting the store is optional for guests.
The site is peaceful but not isolated - the host may be on site during business hours.
SUNDAY WORKSHOPS:
From March through November, herbal workshops are held on Sundays for enrolled students.
These workshops:
•Take place on the same property
•Are held in the basement-level apothecary workspace, where the host works
•Occur in a separate area from the guest chalet
•On Sundays during this season, there may be moderate daytime activity near the apothecary and store area, including arriving and departing students. The guest chalet itself remains separate, private, and quiet, with no shared indoor spaces.
If you plan to be at the house during the day on Sundays and prefer complete solitude across the entire property, please keep this in mind when booking.
SPECIAL EVENTS
If you’re interested in hosting events or retreats, we require a phone call with us to learn about the space, its limitations and any additional fees that may arise for special events.
The hot water heater and baseboard heat is provided by an oil furnace which is located in the basement. It hums while it’s running so you’re welcome to turn down the heat at night or wear provided ear plugs.
Please note: as described on the listing site, this Airbnb is on the same property as Hannah's herbal wellness company. She is on site with her small staff of two tending the gardens and working in her office on the ground level Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays from 9am-5pm.
