Other things to note
This property is directly beside a healthy stream. Insects do hatch at certain times of the year limiting open windows/sitting outdoors at night (depending on your tolerance).
It is a septic system so please flush only toilet paper and no food/waste/oils down the sink drain or in dishwasher.
We provide coffee, creamers, and sweetener to get you started. Extended stays will want to bring your favorites.
There is another garbage can in the shed (due to wildlife) if you have additional garbage. Feel free to put garbage in there and we will take care of it after your stay.
