We're glad to share this relaxing space with you and truly appreciate your understanding! While the home is close to town, it's still in a rural setting—so you may notice an occasional bug or two, especially depending on the season. We do our best to keep everything clean and comfortable for our guests! WiFi is available, though please note it may be slower at times due to our rural location—even though we’re close to town. It generally works well! Guest access 🔑 Guest Access Guests have access to the entire home and property during their stay. That includes: There are no shared spaces — the home is all yours during your stay. If you have questions about where anything is or need recommendations, just message us anytime! Other things to note 🐾 Pet-Friendly! We’re happy to host your well-behaved pets! Pets must be fully potty trained, and guests are responsible for any pet-related damages or excessive cleaning required. A pet fee per pet per stay fee applies. ❄️ Please note that the driveway is steep and winter weather can create snowy or icy conditions. We provide professional snow plowing when needed, but conditions can still be challenging during or shortly after storms. Guests are responsible for ensuring their vehicle is suitable for winter driving (AWD/4WD or snow tires are recommended). If a vehicle becomes stuck, we can help coordinate local services, but towing or assistance costs are the guest’s responsibility. Your safety is important to us, and we appreciate your understanding during winter months!
