My husband, toddler daughter, pet dog, and I stayed at the Henhouse for a long weekend. I appreciated that this was an affordable place to stay that allowed kids and pets and was walking distance to fun stuff (1 mile to downtown, less to River Arts District, park about a 1/2 mile away). The decor is really unique and funky - as a former thrift store manager I loved it! My daughter did too, and that was a bit of a challenge as there were so many intriguing yet breakable items within her reach. Fortunately no mishaps occurred, but future guests with kids might want to bear this in mind. It would be ideal for a couple with a dog, and even with the parenting challenge, I would stay here again. The backyard is fenced which was great for the pup. The front entrance goes directly into the bedroom (which can be made quite dark in the daytime if desired - appreciated for naps), then a small kitchen (good for minimal cooking - full size fridge, little sink, two burner stove, and microwave) including a table and two chairs, then a hallway with a bathroom coming off, ending in a good sized main room (loved all the cozy blankets) which then opens up to a small porch with two chairs and steps going down to the backyard. Parking is on a narrow hilly street (but again, no mishaps and there were several other cars parked on the street as well). You can hear people upstairs but this was not obtrusive. I could also hear trains down by the water (again, not obtrusive, and toddlers love trains), and there was some construction nearby in the daytime. Overall, however, the neighborhood is quiet. We arrived late in the evening but Louisa came out to introduce herself and offer any help she could with recommendations or directions when she saw us out and about the next day. When I contacted her before arriving, she was quick to reply and helpful; though I had no need to contact her otherwise, she seemed available when needed but otherwise let us enjoy our privacy. Overall a lovely place to stay!
