Tune up your spirits *Re-fuel & Rest * *Step Back in Time!
We purchased this old gas station building in 2016 and spent 3 years restoring it. We opened for business in the spring/summer of 2019.
We’ve kept as much of the original building’s elements as possible while restoring it with a mid-century vibe and local history. There are many vintage items to help you immerse yourself in the '50s. The bay area has been converted into living/sleeping space including TV & seating area as well as queen-sized bed & dresser. The futon folds down to sleep one person. The back room has 2 twin beds and dresser as well. It leads to a fenced backyard with shaded patio and gas grill. The kitchenette features refrigerator, stove top, oven & microwave. Cupboards are stocked with dishware/utensils/cookware. The dining area has a formica table and seats 3 or 4. The bathroom has a tub/shower unit with toiletries. (Not ADA compliant). The utility room offers a washer and dryer. Plenty of parking available to side and front of building.
Service dogs are welcome.
