The Hidden Gem is tucked away just behind the main house. You’re welcome to park on the left side of the main house in the driveway. At the end of the driveway, you’ll see a white vinyl fence. Follow it to the sidewalk that leads directly to your private front door! You’ll have full access to the grassy area in front, perfect for relaxing outdoors. If you follow the stone path alongside The Hidden Gem toward the back of the property, you’ll find the BBQ grill and patio area, which are also yours to enjoy during your stay.

When facing The Hidden Gem, please note that the wooden fence on the right side marks the property boundary, so we kindly ask that you do not go beyond it.

There is also a locked owner’s closet in the bathroom behind the door. Please do not try to access it during your stay.
**Please note: There are train tracks that run behind the property. The small train that runs by does so very infrequently, approximately twice a month (usually on Tuesday & Thursday evenings).
