Please note, children are only permitted to hike on the property with an adult. GROUNDSKEEPING: Areas are mowed around the Cottage. Due to weather and availability, mowing and grounds maintenance might occur during your stay. COUNTRY LIVING: Country living comes with the possibility of critters. Guests may see wildlife like spiders, bees, squirrels, chipmunks, mice, deer, snakes, bobcats and some even say there are bears in these parts. For this reason guests are asked to keep all food and items of interest, such as trash, in the cottage. Please do not leave bags of trash outside or food outside. If you need trash removal during your stay please let us know. PESTS: Guests should be aware of chiggers, something fairly unique to the region. Chiggers cannot be seen with the naked eye. Their bites cause itching much like mosquitos. Please bring bug spray for playing or sitting outdoors. Inside the cottage we use a pest control service.

Guests may hear sounds like crickets chirping, birdsong, cows mooing, dogs, tractors or even a little target practice off in the distance.
