The home is surrounded by woods, offering a very private, peaceful setting. Guests have access to the house, the immediate yard, and outdoor amenities (patio, fire pit, hammocks, games). The surrounding forest is not part of the guest area, and guests should not enter the woods or neighboring properties. Outdoor areas have natural surfaces (grass, roots, uneven ground), so please use caution and supervise children. I will provide you with any important details regarding your reservation via message through the app. You will have access to my phone number should you need to reach out urgently or run into any issues. The driveway has a manual gate. You’re welcome to lock it during your stay for added privacy—we’ll provide the gate code. You are not required to use the gate or lock up when coming or going. Regarding firewood: Guests may gather small twigs and branches from the surrounding wooded area. For those who prefer a ready supply, we can arrange a large load of firewood slabs to be delivered for an additional fee (currently $150).
