We can accept one pet per reservation with a pet fee. That said -- Our property is mostly unfenced. This may cause a challenging environment for pets with lots of vegetation and potential predators.

It is absolutely forbidden to drive your vehicle anywhere other than the driveway. "Vehicle" here includes any wheeled thing whatsoever, such as a car, truck, motorcycle or bicycle. NEVER drive in the front yard or backyard. The steepness of the driveway may be dangerous for cars leaning on the unlevel footing. The driveway does go all the way up the property and is large enough for four (4) cars.

The functions are fairly simple, to turn on hold the Power Symbol for 3 seconds. From there, everything else is pretty self explanatory.

We do ask that you keep your party to the main house and the private patio and side yard. The top unit is separate and should be treated as such. • Disclosure. Our cleaning team consists of some amazing individuals and thankfully are extremely thorough and great at what they do. They have been with us for a few years and there is a reason, they help us with accountability and let us know if a specific guest/party made an unnecessary mess or caused damage. They work hard and need the full 4 hours to clean so please don’t make their job more difficult! Any additional cleaning that was not expected will be charged separately. Inventory. We do have an inventory sheet OF EVERYTHING! Down to how many forks… We ask that if anything is broken, please make us aware. We understand that things happen but finding out as a surprise is not ideal for either of us and will incur a charge for whatever was damaged. • We don’t like to have so many rules but unfortunately some people ruin the trust and opportunity of renting a home!
