About this house rental
The house of id is a place to stay, shop, and take part.
Stay. Id's design is informed by our firsthand experience of living with a chronic/invisible illness. To us, accessibility means joy at your fingertips; and participation without overexertion. Unmask.
Shop. We did the legwork, filling the house with buyable treasures. Live with the pieces you love. Then take them home.
Take Part. Some of the house is experiential. Change hardware. Move art. Bake for the community. Get involved.
Whether you walk or wheel into id, the first thing you will notice is the happy, retro color palette. Our space is designed to evoke joy and to be an ever-changing canvas filled with treasures. *Some of the artwork in our space contains female nudity.
The grow room is where most of our resident plants live. It is a place to read, chat, relax and soak in the sun through the skylights.
Moving into the main area, everything you need to be comfortable is on this level. There is a kitchen equipped with baking and cooking appliances, a guest wall art installation, and an extendable vintage table for activities.
The two bedrooms on this level each have their own ductless mini splits so you have complete control over the temperature in your sleep space. Our queen bed room has an adjustable bed and room to pull in your transport wheelchair if you need one.
The main floor full bath can go from a step free shower to a tub. Just let us know if you need this amenity.
Close the saloon doors in the vestibule for some extra privacy from the living area when it's time for bed.
Before you wander upstairs, head out front for the best 3 season porch ever created. Lie in our hammock, eat at the outdoor dining table, or sit around eating pastries on the couch.
If you are able to walk upstairs, you will find a flex space for yoga, meditation, or book reading. There is a small refrigerator up there for snacks, drinks, and medication storage.
If you walk through our peony pink hallway, you will arrive at the upstairs bedroom. This has a cozy, log cabin feel and a four-poster bed. There is an attached full bathroom with a huge, sunny shower complete with a seat.
Did we mention we have a pool? It is open from June-August and is level with the driveway so it affords our guests step free access.
The whole house is yours to explore. There are a couple of closets that we have clearly marked as just for owners. So unless you want old tiles and empty paint cans, no need to go in.
We don't allow use of our garage, except under special circumstances. You can reach out to us if this is a need you have.
*If you need any of our accessibility amenities, like ramps, transport wheelchair, rollator, or use of our chairlift, please message us or head over to thehouseofid dot com to fill out our accessibility form.
We are building a community with the house of id. We want to offer the space to guests who will honor our mission to give people who might not otherwise have access to this kind of creative energy a chance to experience some real joy.

From start to finish this was an amazing get away. Since the groovy house has so much to explore and the pool was delightful, it made the perfect hideout from this hellish heat! We had a great time finding all the treasures! The house was clean, well appointed and in a great neighborhood. You can walk into town for dinner if you don’t feel like cooking in the great kitchen. There is a cute ice cream shop with outdoor seating in town too. Beds were comfortable. Communication was excellent. Glad I brought an empty backpack for my goodies. I will be back! Thank you Dara and Paige for a memorable get away!

If you love color, kitsch, whimsy, nostalgia, and retro quirkiness, then the House of Id is for you! Add in comfort, cleanliness, and attention to detail and you have a great place to stay.
Due to canceled flights, our friends were not able to join us. Our other regret was not having an extra day to enjoy the beautiful pool and a packed schedule that kept us from enjoying evenings on the patio. We didn’t cook much, but the kitchen was well stocked and had everything that we would have needed for larger meals or more people. Quiet neighborhood, easy to get to, and we didn’t want for anything but more time during our stay.
NOT a house for young children or people that are more attracted to a minimalist style.

So happy we booked this space for our girlfriend's getaway! - I can't wait to do it again in the summer.
