Paw Notes:
-If you are bringing your family loving paw children, they are more than welcome. Sadie was our yellow Labrador so we are honored to host yours as well in fact she would be honored. Please be transparent and declare when booking.
The spring, winter, fall are our favorite seasons as the tranquility surrounds with lighter visitation traffic. Perfect seasons for hiking, biking, winery tourism and cider mill farm excursions.
Notes:
There are three cameras on the exterior of the property. This is to keep the property safe when vacant and to ensure proper guest count integrity.
Our home is on a delicate septic waste management system and our maximum occupancy is set strictly recommended by our service providers. It is a 6 head overnight maximum. Any deviations to this maximum must be presented to the host prior to booking for consideration.
