(Please read Other Details) The space When staying in our Downstairs Suite, you'll have access to: -a master bedroom with a crazy comfortable queen bed -Three twin beds for the kids (or extra adults) -a couch big enough to sleep two middle linebackers! -a living room with a large screen TV, a Blu-ray player, a huge couch, a rocking chair, and a wood burning stove -a half-bath (with shower available upstairs upon request) -a kitchenette with microwave, fridge, and coffee pot (with full kitchen available upstairs upon request) In addition, we have: -a back porch with chairs and table -a large, fully fenced yard for the kids and pets -two pear trees, two apple trees, and more strawberry plants than we can handle, all free for the picking when in season Guest access Access to the suite is by way of the back door to the right of the porch. Before you arrive, the last four digits of your given phone number will be entered into your door's electric lock to provide secure access to your Downstairs Suite for the duration of your stay. The house is the white one with the white picket fence directly behind the only gas station in Metaline. Park in the back in front of the garage. Pull the string on the post and open the gate. Come up the walkway to the sliding glass door and knock. We recommend you stay off the grass, especially after dark. We have two dogs, and though we pick up dog bombs daily, they may have deposited something in the grass we haven't seen yet. Please use the paved walkway or the stone path. During your stay Some guests love to socialize, as do we. Some treasure their privacy. To that end, once we show you the Downstairs Suite, we try to stay out of your way and give you full privacy. However, sometimes questions and needs arise. Should that be the case, you may call us, text us, or come upstairs to see us. Please do. When you come upstairs to see us, to shower, or to use the full kitchen, we request you use the doorbell button on the kitchen door before entering. Press the button, count to five, then come on in. You are always welcome upstairs. Other things to note Please read these three important notes before booking your stay: 1 - Normal Life Noises Mary and Dan and two small dogs live on the main level of the house. It's 60 years old and the floors tend to creak and squeak. The Downstairs Suite where you will stay is directly under those creaky, squeaky floors. We try to walk softly and as little as necessary, but some noise is inevitable. If this is a concern for you or a reason you might rate us less than 5 stars, our feelings will not be hurt if you choose not to book with us, though we will miss getting to know you. 2 - Disability Access The Metaline Downstairs Suite can only be accessed by a flight of steps. Because of that, we are sorry to say we cannot accommodate wheelchairs or anyone who cannot navigate stairs. 3 - The Shower The bathroom in your Downstairs Suite is only a half-bath. The other half of the bath, the shower, is upstairs and fully accessible upon request, and we are happy to share it. Again, if that is of concern to you, we will not be offended if you do not choose to stay with us.
