The oldest artifacts discovered here date indicate that people have been frequenting the area as far back as 13,000 years ago.

We ask guests to respect quiet hours from 11pm-8am both inside and outside. Noise travels and we want to keep our neighbors happy so we can continue to make this space available for guests. 5. Our home is well maintained and treated periodically for pests and insects as are most homes in the neighborhood. However, we cannot control the occasional bug creeping in to say hello or found dead (this a good sign the place is treated). We won't issue a refund for a dead or occasional live bug. It's the South and we're located next to nature. If you happen to see a bug just let us know, we can spray for you. We don't foresee this being an issue during your stay, but we wanted to mention it.
