Check In Instructions
Welcome to The Library
of Ivy and Ellie
Thank you for choosing to stay with us! We look forward to hosting you. Please let us know the names of everyone in your group and any pets you’re bringing along.
🏡 Location
The Library of Ivy and Ellie is located at 903 W Wendover Ave, Greensboro, NC 27408.
Wendover is a busy road, and the driveway can be easy to miss. If you pass it, you can loop around by turning right on Hill Street, then right on Bessemer, Grayland, and back onto Wendover. There’s parking behind the house for two cars.
🗝️ Entry
Enter 1204 into the keypad at the back door.
Important: If you lock the doorknob, you will need a key to get back inside. To avoid this, only lock the deadbolt, which you can unlock with the code.
To lock when leaving, pull the handle and press the 🔓.
🚫 House Guidelines
Please do not rearrange any furniture, pictures, lamps, or rugs.
We also ask that you don’t hang or attach items to the walls.
If you need something that isn’t readily available, feel free to ask! We’re happy to share what we have, or if it’s something missing, we might purchase it for future guests as well.
🌻 Fresh Herbs, Flowers, and Vegetables
During the summer, if you'd like to use fresh herbs, vegetables, or flowers from the garden, just ask! We’ll share with you where to pick. Please only take what you need and leave the rest for others.
🧹 Check-Out
We’ll send specific check-out instructions as your stay comes to an end. But most importantly, we want you to relax and enjoy your time here, just as you would at a friend or family member’s home.
We love sharing this special space, filled with memories of Joy’s two daughters, and we hope you feel at home during your stay.
We live nearby in the brick house at the corner of Grayland and Wendover, just a few doors up the hill. We’re often on the porch in the evening—feel free to stop by and say hello. We’d love to meet you!
Thank you,
Joy and Eric 🌻🌿
