Our standard check-in time is 4:00 p.m., and our standard check-out time is 10:00 a.m.. Furniture and decor may differ from the photos.

•Firewood for the fire pit isn't provided; please buy wood locally to prevent the spread of invasive species.
•Enjoy walks through the wooded property; you may spot local wildlife, along with mosquitoes, spiders and other insects.
•Garbage and recycling are picked up from the driveway, so there's no need to move bins to the street.
