Valued guests - we hope you will have an enjoyable time here and work hard to provide for guests' comfort. Please understand that we are not property managers with a lot of listings, just 1 - we are the homeowners and hosts and have a very personal stake in this home (it is our second home and come here often). We do not charge a cleaning fee and expect guests to treat this space with respect, follow the house rules and take the time necessary to clean up after yourselves, as per the check-out list. Please report any damage done - there is nothing worse than coming in to find something broken/damaged without notification. Cleaning/repairs fees will be charged if needed after check out. There is an outside security camera. The camera is directed at the driveway and not at the house.
