The driveway is plowed and maintained in the winter, and a shovel is provided to help you clear walkways if needed.

This home is located in a rural area, surrounded by nature. While we professionally treat the exterior, insects or mice may occasionally find their way indoors—especially in cooler months when they seek warmth.

If you're sensitive to wildlife or critters, this may not be the best fit for your stay.

Please help us care for it by:

Conserving water during dry spells

Misuse can lead to water shortages or costly repairs, so we thank you for your care and consideration.
