the space
the first impression that you get when driving up to the ellison house is the quiet, flat and easy going street the house resides on You should typically be able to park directly in front of the house and walk right up to the door. If you arrive as the sun goes down, the string lights and censored lights should illuminate your welcome. On the porch you will see your insta moment on our swinging bench. Sit, swing, relax, and take a selfie to share with family and friends. Once inside the house you will be greeted with the living room to the left and the dining room to your right. The living room is the perfect room to sit, relax, watch tv, have a drink, and catch up with your friends and family. The dining room is perfect for 6 but you can certainly have a couple more. The french doors can be closed to keep the sounds of happy chatter a bit quieter for people trying to sleep. As you go down the hallway you will see the first bedroom to the left which includes 2 full sized beds. There is a 32 inch TV with Roku. The second bedroom includes 2 twin beds, also with a 32 inch TV with Roku. In between the 2 rooms is a full bathroom. Further down the hallway is the primary bedroom which includes a KING bed, a desk and chair for work, as well as a 32 inch TV and Roku.
through the dining room you enter the game room / movie room This is perfect for the kids and adults of all ages. Go back in time and play Pac-Man on our arcade style game. Play board games if you would like, and with the 60 inch TV, entertainment can go on for hours.
as you go through the game room / movie room, you will then enter the kitchen and dining area The dining area nook includes seating for 2 with its french bistro feel. Since this is a southern charmer home, we decorated the cabinets with that inspiration in mind. The kitchen should be a great place to gather and cook. The island provides a great space to cook and the kitchen amenities should allow for different cooking experiences. To the left of the kitchen is the coffee bar....most of us need this in the morning so enjoy the coffee options.
as you go past the kitchen you will see the laundry room which includes a washing machine and dryer The door past the laundry room is the back door to the deck. The deck is an amazing space to relax, grill on the BBQ, have dinner, chat with friends, and take in the view at night. The steps on the deck will then take you to our backyard. You will see a space for a firepit and chairs. The path takes you around the backyard and to the Hot Tub where you enjoy the warmth of the water while watching the sunset off in the distance.
the ellison house has 2 levels of living spaces The upstairs and the downstairs studio. You can get to the downstairs studio 2 ways. You can enter from the driveway and through the gate, or you can enter from the gate in the backyard. With either entrance you will see an outdoor space with a table and chairs. Closer to the picket fence you have 2 Adirondack chairs to relax and take in the view. Follow the sign to "Home Sweet Home" where you will see the front door to the studio. You will be given the code for this door as well. In the lobby you will have another washer and dryer. Once inside you will see the kitchen. It is not a full kitchen however offers great space and amenities to cook more simple meals. There is also a full bathroom. Once you go through the kitchen you will see the open space of the living area. The living area includes a couch and 40 inch TV with Roku. The TV is set on guest mode so you can use your own login information and once your reservation is complete, your information is deleted. There is a table for 2 which can be used for dining or a work space. The living area includes a Queen bed with a 32 inch TV with Roku.
all in all the ellison house brings the nostalgia of the old south and includes the modern amenities that we all enjoy
we hope you enjoy your stay with us :)
