The Bell House - Contemporary Comfort Near Wards Road with a Luxurious Hot Tub!

Welcome to Our Newly Remodeled Home.

We are excited to announce that the interior of our home has been completely remodeled, featuring brand-new amenities designed for your comfort, including a luxurious saltwater hot tub. However, please note that the exterior is still a work in progress. The landscaping is awaiting the care of a green thumb, and you may notice that the siding has a unique, multi-hued charm. Note that there may be outdoor noise from the train.
Unfortunately, we do not have washers and dryers available for guest use, and a few outdoor projects are currently on hold.

We believe in transparency and honesty, so we share this upfront. If these quirks don’t bother you, we’d be delighted to host you. Rest assured, as soon as we’re back on track financially, we’ll be sprucing up the outside too.

Important Update: The mini split in the upstairs bedrooms is currently not working and will be replaced. Each upstairs bedroom is equipped with its own space heater, which keeps the rooms very comfortable. The rest of the home’s HVAC system is fully operational.

Step into a world of comfort and luxury with this exquisite rental home, perfect for a group of 6 with space for an additional 2 guests on the sleeper sofa or futon.

Here are some highlights of our property:
