Important Information to Consider Before Booking:

Rustic Country Setting:
Embrace the charm of a true country home surrounded by nature. Expect the occasional presence of country creatures such as spiders, scorpions, and wasps. Despite regular pest maintenance, these are part of the country experience. This home being on a ranch in the country, you may encounter various wildlife, including wild hogs, deer, snakes, wild birds, and Wild Turkey. Please be aware and enjoy the unique ambiance of our countryside retreat. ABSOLUTELY No Hunting is permitting on the property.

Well Water Details:

These homes operate on well water, and on rare occasions, you may notice a faint sulfuric smell. Rest assured, the water is filtered, clean, and entirely safe to drink.

Pet Policy:
Regrettably, we cannot accommodate pets under any circumstances. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in maintaining a pet-free environment.

Guest Limit and No Trespassing:
The property can only accommodate a maximum of 25 guests, and only individuals included in your reservation are permitted on the premises.

We have two other homes on the ranch away from this property that we also rent out if you need more room. Please be advised that they may be occupied during your stay, but they are not allowed access to your side of the property for the pool.

✅ This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $49 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.

To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.

If you have any questions, just message us anytime! Happy to help!
