-The ice maker in the fridge does NOT work so we have provided (4) ice trays.

-The porch light is on a night time motion sensor.
-To access the hose faucet in the backyard pull up on the trap door in the deck.
-Our home is situated on a spacious wooded lot. While we take pride in keeping the property clean and well-maintained, please be aware that occasional encounters with nature—like spotting a bug or two—are possible. This is a normal part of life in a wooded area, and we appreciate your understanding!

☆☆ Safety ☆☆
Your safety matters. So we have outfitted the property with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors as well as fire extinguisher and first aid kit.

You will have private access to the entire home for the duration of your stay, including the outdoor spaces. The only exception is the tree-house in the backyard and wood burning fireplace are both off limits. Sorry!

We comply with and exceed all COVID-19 VRBO sanitizing regulations and take extra measures to sanitize ALL bedding (including pillows) with enhanced steam sanitation between each guest.
