What makes this property unique
Guests should note that at certain times of the year when the creek floods the access bridge into the property may be under water. In these situations we do have secondary ingress, and provide a phone number to call if you encounter high water around the bridge around check-in and in the guest book.
Travel insurance is available after booking and highly recommended for stays during the spring and winter months where your travel may be affected by seasonal weather.
The fireplace in the basement is not usable. The fireplace upstairs is usable.
A $500 hold is collected prior to your arrival at the property. This is similar to what hotels do when they collect a card at check in for incidentals and is not a deposit. It is released 5 days after check out according to the terms of the rental agreement.
LAWNCARE: The lawn is mowed on Tuesdays or Wednesdays weather permitting. We will contact you if it is scheduled for another day due to inclement weather or scheduling conflicts.
CAMERAS: We have cameras on the premises. Doorbell cameras are located at the front doors and monitor the entry and the driveway, and there are others monitoring the back door. Cameras are motion activated and record audio and video and are monitored infrequently (typically at time of check-in to make sure you made it in and after check-out, though we reserve the right to check more frequently if we receive notice of rule violations) Your reservation will be terminated immediately if you disable, unplug, tamper with, cover, block or alter the WIFI equipment or security equipment (cameras).
