CHECK OUT INSTRUCTIONS: • Please make sure you take out the trash, this helps with smells and preventing creatures from wanting to come in to the house. • If used dishes, we ask you place them in the dishwasher and hit start. • Please extinguish all fires and fuels, inside and out, and cover the BBQ once cooled. • In winter, please make sure the heat is turned down to 60* • In summer, please make sure the AC is left at 70* • Upon departure, please make sure all lights are turned off and all exterior doors are locked Like any rural environment, this house is surrounded by countryside, farms and wildlife. While it’s wonderful to observe the eagles, deer, bears, and adorable chipmunks, it can also mean you will hear coyotes and foxes at night, and encounter the less cute mice, flies, snakes, ants and bees. There is very little to be done about it, but by keeping doors closed or screened and food in it’s appropriate storage, unwelcome guests will stay outside where they belong. Please note- use of the kayaks, paddle boards and/or swimming is at your own risk. Thank you! The property and home sits creekside in a semi-rural area. A freight rail line is <.5 miles from the home. Warning horns and associated noise may be heard. Cargo freight is mainly moved during the week with little to zero activity on weekends. However, hosts cannot control timetable or noise of the trains. Noise machines are at the home for light sleepers. We are a pet friendly home, but we ask that your pet is house-trained, crated when you are not in the home, and please no pets on the furniture. Thank you!
