There are three exterior cameras on the property, including two Ring video doorbells (located at the front and back entrances), and a security camera located near the side door facing the driveway. The exterior cameras record video and audio 24/7 for security purposes, but they are not actively monitored. The security system also includes smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, door sensors, motion detectors, and a temperature sensor inside the home. Tampering with, covering, or attempting to disable the cameras, smoke detectors, or security system will result in a $500 fine. For the privacy of our guests, there are no interior cameras. We are located on 5 wooded acres, so there is potential to encounter wildlife, poison ivy, snakes, spiders, wasps, insects, or other critters (some of which may be poisonous). There are steep, rocky areas on our property. Children must be supervised at all times. We are located ¼ mile away from a state highway, so there may be some minor traffic noise at times. We ask that all guests be respectful of our neighbors and observe quiet hours between 11pm-7am.
