Other things to note You may hear us above the space from time to time while walking, watching TV or maybe hear our loveable Yellow Labrador "Josie" sauntering across the floor. We homeschool our two boys during the day, and they are mostly just doing our work and are relatively quiet. In the winter, we perform all the snow removal with a plow and snowblower, so you may see us working to keep the space clear. We provide a cold and hot drinking water dispenser for your use. Please be aware the hot water dispenser is very hot. There are built-in safety measures on the unit to avoid accidental burns. Please note that due to the natural surroundings of our property, wildlife, bugs, and insects may be present outside. We strive to maintain a comfortable environment, but we cannot eliminate the presence of wildlife in such a nature-rich area. Thank you for your understanding, and enjoy your stay close to nature! We utilize a well and septic tank, so please help us maintain our system by not flushing anything except toilet paper down the toilet. In the event of any type of power failure, we use a generator while repairs are being made. This rarely happens, and power is usually restored quickly. The generator does not provide full lighting or appliance use capability. It will, however, keep the Wi-Fi, water, and heat going. The main breaker box is in the apartment space, and if access is needed, we will contact you for permission to enter and resolve the problem.
