As our guests, you’ll enjoy full access to the entire property and all its amenities, ensuring a private and comfortable stay.

Contactless, 24/7 Check-In:
For your convenience, we offer a completely contactless check-in experience. You’ll receive a unique front door code 2 days prior to arrival, allowing for secure, easy entry at any time—day or night.

Guest Portal:
Your guest portal puts everything you need in one place, including property details, local things to do, and helpful house instructions.

Management:
Our property is expertly managed we’re committed to making your stay enjoyable and seamless. Our team is available daily from 9 AM to 9 PM to assist with any questions or requests. You can easily reach us by phone, or email. For any urgent issues after hours, we also offer a 24-hour emergency line, ensuring support at any time during your stay.

Firepits:
We’re happy to offer two cozy firepit options to enhance your stay. On the deck, you’ll find a propane firepit—we do our best to always keep a full propane tank available for guests. In the backyard, there’s a charming wood-burning firepit set on the grass, perfect for evenings under the stars. Please note, firewood is not provided for the wood-burning pit, so feel free to bring your own for a classic campfire experience.

Family-Friendly:
As parents of young children, we understand the challenges of traveling with little ones. We’ve thoughtfully equipped the home to be family-friendly, including a Pack ’n Play with crib sheets. There is ample space to set it up in either the downstairs bedroom, office, or the upstairs master bedroom. Kid-friendly cups, bowls, plates, and utensils are provided, along with books, toys, games, and puzzles for family fun.

Pet-Friendly Accommodations:
We welcome one dog (up to 60 lbs) for a fee of $150 per stay, which helps cover additional cleaning for pet hair. If any waste beyond hair (such as urine or feces) is found, an additional $200 cleaning fee will apply. Guests are responsible for cleaning up after their pet, and dogs should not be left unattended, as barking may disturb neighbors. Please let us know in advance if you’ll be traveling with a dog.

Fence:
The property is fully fenced; however, the fence is weathered and may have small gaps that smaller dogs could potentially slip through. There is a dog living at the property behind the back fence. A baby safety gate is available on the deck, which can be pulled across to provide a contained outdoor area for children and pets without access to the entire yard.

Maintenance:
Trash day is Tuesday. Our cleaning team will place the bins at the curb on Monday afternoon, so you won’t need to manage this during your stay. Landscaping service occurs every other Friday or Saturday, depending on weather. If you’d like an estimated arrival time during your stay, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to assist.
