Our preferred guests are families- we are NOT a party house! Multi-generational familiy- grandparents, children, and grandkids are great! Our allegiance is to our neighbors. We are very cognizant of our peaceful neighborhood ambiance (that's why we bought it and love it!) and respectful of our neighbors. Please note our House Rules with regard to this.

FYI- we are very qualified to achieve "Premier Partner" with VRBO, except for one thing: they will not grant this designation because we will not accept Instant Booking. We won't do this, as we want control over who rents our home.

We accept a maximum of 8 adults and 4 children in "The Kids' Bunkbed Room" for a total of 12.

Our general rule is to ask for a 4-night stay. However, there are two weeks in the year we ask for a 6-night stay. Those weeks surround New Years and 4th of July. These are by far the most popular times of the year.
