We have recently added a fire pit and some chairs and a table in the backyard, providing a cozy spot for you to enjoy nature. Inside the house, you will find s'more sticks, which are perfect for making delicious marshmallow treats. You're welcome to bring your own firewood, but we also have options available. My daughter has chopped her own firewood into large bundles, which you can purchase for $9 each. If you prefer, you can also pre-request the firewood when you book your reservation.

Set almost 3/4 miles off of the main road, up a small mountain, amongst the trees. The house is next to the host's house. Park parallel to the house, in the gravel between the houses, or behind it. Do not block the main house’s garages.

The rental includes seasonal usage of the heated in-ground pool with slide and children's swing set. The pool area has multiple lounge chairs and umbrellas, sofas and tables, a ping pong table and a pool house with a shower/toilet and changing room. Mountain views are also included:) The pool is shared with the other rental on the property.

Watch your children at ALL times, especially in the pool area. There is a deep end and there is no life guard. Swim at your own risk.

Baby equipment, such as a pack n play, high chair, swing, and baby bath tub can be left in the house for use if requested.

Our two small dogs have a doggy door from our house and may want to visit with you if you are outside. They are both friendly. There are also friendly barn cats on the property that may visit.

We appreciate texts alerting us to any issues. If after 11pm, there may be a delay in getting back to you.

Parties, Gathering and Smoking are not allowed. If you are planning to have a party or gathering, please note, this will not be tolerated and your reservation will be immediately cancelled and guests vacated from our property. There is a $1,000 fine for any illegal party or gathering. For any exceptions, you must have written permission from us prior to your arrival ONLY.

AVOIDABLE FEES:
*Smoking indoors- Cigarettes, marijuana, pipes etc- minimum $250
*Excessive messes $80 per hour
*Party fine $1,000 and immediate removal
*Extra guests above the ones on the reservation $150 per guest, per night.

-Dogs- We charge a minimal pet fee, so we just ask that pets are not allowed in beds or furniture as removing pet hair is very time consuming and this will incur an extra charge from our cleaning crew of $80 per hour and we would have to pass that to our guests.

We appreciate your understanding. The fees are the unfortunate result of guests not respecting our home, so we like to disclose this up front. Save your money. It will get expensive if you break the rules.
