Accessibility notes:
- A cat stays in the basement. We haven't had guests with allergies have any issues in the main part of the house.
- Our house is not currently wheelchair visitable as defined by the ADA Accessibility Guidelines (we have four steps up to the front and the bathroom clearances are too small). If any guest who uses a chair or other mobility device or has other accessibility needs would like to visit, we're interested in discussing what we could do.
- We want our house to be safe for all of us, including people with chemical sensitivities, so we ask that you do your best to avoid using perfume or other fragranced products. We find that often guests do not understand this request, so if it is unfamiliar to you, you might read: http://invisibledisabilities.org/educate/chemicalsensitivities/whygofragrancefree/
