We have a good plan, but all Hughesnet plans have maximum data limits per month so you cannot use streaming services like Netflix or Zoom. But there is a "Bonus Zone" every night from 2 AM to 8 AM with unlimited data usage. Pets under about 50 lbs are welcomed at an additional fee of $40 per pet, per stay, but must be crated when unattended. I can make exceptions to the fee structure for small dogs or multiple pets. There is a booth in the kitchen that converts into a comfortable double bed. The dining booth/bed convertible is 72" by 48" when it's converted to a bed, so it may not be suitable for tall adults. We have had some issues with noise from the Villa (2nd floor) making it hard for guests in the two lower units to sleep. So, there is an 11 pm excessive noise curfew for the Villa when either of the lower units is occupied. Also, we recently installed several hundred cubic ft. of cellulose sound dampening insulation in the ceiling of this unit to re-mediate the issue. In support of the global effort to conserve energy resources utilizing reasonable practices, we have installed Ecobee “smart” thermostats in all of our listings that the guests can also control. The thermostats are preset with a maximum heating setting of 71 degrees and a minimum cooling setting of 72 degrees.
