There are surrounding houses that you can see from the windows within the unit that allow a cozy community feeling. As you drive up to the house, you will see that our “Welcome Guest Parking” sign posted on the right side of the house so you will know where to pull up to. Guests will have this designated parking spot for one or two cars along (parked one in front of the other) the right side of the driveway. The walkway up to the entrance of the unit is along the right-hand side of the house where the parking sign is. It’s a rough gravel walkway that follows under the wrap around deck alongside the house. The door is located about 50 ft up the walkway and has a keyless pinpad entry. During the winter months this walkway can start to feel like your own personal a snow tunnel, but in the spring summer and fall you will look to the right and see our expansive yard. You will be provided your entry code the morning of your arrival (or before upon request). The Suite: Once inside, you will enter directly into the living room space.
