There is also an iron and ironing board in case you need to get fancy. :) Non-slip and pant hangers are there if you want to use them.

In the yard, there are blueberry bushes, grape vines, apple, pear, peach, pecan, and plum trees. There are also 25+ rose bushes, other types of trees, shrubs, and flowers all around the property. You will see many happy bees pollinating and lots of birds flying about. In the spring, there are many bird nests in the ferns in the cabana. So if you see birds frequently in that area, they likely have eggs or babies there. So cute! THE HOT TUB: The hot tub is open year-round. It seats up to 6 people. It is WONDERFUL!
