Mawmaw Uschi's Greensboro Retreat - Private Room

Welcome to Mamaw Uschie’s Room – Your Cozy Greensboro Retreat

Named in honor of Eric’s remarkable mom, Ursala—born in Germany during the war—((Mamaw Uschie’s Room)) is our heartfelt tribute to an extraordinary woman. We invite you to feel truly at home in our shared Idlewood neighborhood residence, where warm hospitality meets modern comfort.

The Space:

Comfort & Rest: Enjoy a memory foam queen-sized bed dressed in 100% cotton linens and room-darkening curtains for a peaceful sleep.
Workspace & Convenience: A dedicated desk with ample lighting, plus a mini-fridge and microwave for light meals or snacks, are at your service.
Cleaning & Storage: A vacuum is provided in the room along with generous closet space to keep your belongings neatly stowed.
Bathroom: Benefit from an en suite Jack-and-Jill bathroom (shared only with the adjacent Grandma Dottie’s Room) featuring a curved glass shower, pedestal sink, and a selection of travel-sized hair and skincare essentials.
House Guidelines:

Kitchen Use: Our hosts lovingly maintain a tiny, cherished kitchen that remains off-limits to guests to keep it in top condition. However, we’re delighted to offer complimentary coffee most mornings when we’re home!
Pet Policy: Respectful pet owners are welcome with their fur babies. Baby dogs should be directed to the mulched or non-grass areas, and for baby kitties, please disclose how you manage kitty litter and protect furniture from claw damage before booking.

Community & Connection:
This small, local, non-corporate business proudly supports Guilford County school students in the Occupational Course of Study (OCS) by providing a job site for experiential learning. These students gain valuable work and life skills while earning required community service hours—a cause close to Joy’s heart as a former special education teacher. Our shared home is more than a place to stay; it’s a vibrant community enriched by friendly neighbors, local personalities like Raven (our cheerful mail person) and Robert (with his unique yard art), and an environment that warmly welcomes every guest.

Experience Greensboro:
Whether you’re here for work, creative projects, or to explore Greensboro’s top attractions—from cool downtown breweries and live music venues to the urban trail and skatepark—we’re excited to share our insider tips through our guidebook. We love Greensboro, and we’re committed to ensuring your stay is comfortable, fun, and truly memorable.

Welcome home!

Warmly,
Joy & Eric
