The house sits above the street level and not easily visible. Guests can park on the bottom driveway (maximum two vehicles) and climb a flight of steps to reach the RED gate to the surrounding yard. Or, especially if carrying luggage, access the long, newly paved driveway to the right side of the neighbor's red house and follow the left turn until the end. You will enter the YELLOW gate, down the short flight of steps and find the main entry door with a smart lock under the portico. A code for the main entry door will be sent to you before checkin. Other things to note Checkout time: We pride ourselves in providing a clean and tidy space for all our guests. Due to high interest and accepting same day reservations, we want to allow our cleaners all necessary time to thoroughly complete cleaning and disinfecting tasks. For this reason we are not able to accommodate late checkout requests. Please plan accordingly and book the correct amount of days as to allow for a prompt 11 AM checkout time. A late checkout fee of $250 will be added to your reservation costs if house is not vacant by 11:30 AM. Sleeping arrangements: Raven's Nest can accommodate up to 12 guests per reservation. Please read carefully through this section before booking as it might not be the best fit for every group. The place comes with one king size bed in the very private, lower master suite. Two queen size beds, one of these inside the back bedroom and one inside a secondary suite located at the main level and completed with a large workspace, a full bathroom, built-in wardrobe and a low ceiling loft bed area accessible through a fixed wood ladder. One other small bedroom is furnished with the younger members of your group in mind. It comes with a full size daybed with trundle. The trundle is fitted with a twin size mattress and all necessary bedding. This bedroom also includes a loft accessible with a fixed wood ladder which had been furnished to entertain the young and not so young guests. The two common living spaces both have pullout sofas. Bedding for the red pullout sofa could be found inside the wood entry chest bench nearby. Grey pullout sofa in the front room contains needed bedding inside the chaise section. Just lift up the cushion. Soft mattress toppers are available inside the supply closet downstairs off the master suite hallway for added comfort. Feel free to use as needed. Traffic noise: Hwy 24 is close enough to be seen from the house and some muffled traffic noise could be heard from the deck and outdoor areas. Hot tub: Hot tub is maintained weekly or by-weekly (depending on season) by a professional company. Christian, our trusted expert, will only need access to the back yard to clean and treat the unit. If you are on the premises when he arrives, normally on Wednesdays, please allow him to complete the task. Mobility needs guests: Access to and from the house requires you climb and/or descent some narrow steps which might not be ideal for guests with restricted mobility. There are also some steps around the house, including climbing fixed ladders to access one of the queen size beds and a separate neat play den in one of the two house lofts. Please check in with your group to ensure this is not an issue before booking. Roads condition: An AWD vehicle is A MUST during snow season ( October - May) to be able to access the house. The roads are maintained and cleared by the county, but even though we do our best to keep our driveways clear of snow, the long driveway is on a steep incline and very hard to navigate with a non AWD if only a small amount of snow / ice settles in. Please reach out to your host with any questions prior to planning your trip. Our place is pet friendly. We can accommodate up to three (3) pets per reservation. If you plan to bing your pet/pets, please include that into your pre-booking message and acknowledge you have read and understood our Pets section of House Rules. Reservations of 10+ days will be subject to a deep cleaning fee. Please ask your host for details prior to booking.
