The house of id; accessible dopamine rental, vintage shop, near Boston/Gillette

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.
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.


Guest 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.

Other Details to Note:
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.

Interaction with Guests:
Dara and Paige are available by phone or email if you have questions during your stay. We are also able to come over at the end of your visit and take down any treasures that were too high for you to reach.
