The house is child-friendly but not childproof. Guests are responsible for the safety of their children at all times.

★ Smart Keypad Deadbolt: One day prior to check in, guests will receive a unique code to the front door which activates at check in and deactivates at check out. Guests have access to the entire home except for one owner's closet.

★ Driving Access: All streets to the house are paved and the gravel driveway is short. The home is in the lower hills of Massanutten Mountain with some steep roadways. If snow or ice is in the forecast, consider bringing a vehicle with AWD or winter tires.

★ Parking: There is parking available for up to three vehicles: two next to each other in the gravel driveway and one on the gravel shoulder. Though we do have a motion-activated floodlight, the driveway can be difficult to see at night or during/after weather events, so please pull in and out of the driveway carefully and watch out for the utility boxes! The HOA requires that all four tires remain off of the asphalt pavement. There is a sloped walkway approximately 50 feet long from the parking area to the front porch. Overflow parking is available at Hopkins Park - the first left-turn after entering at the Massanutten gate.

★ Wildlife: Our home is in the woods and so it is surrounded by a variety of wildlife including possible bear. With this in mind, guests must not leave food outside to prevent pests. Please clean the grill after use and do not leave any food outside. While pest control does service the home, being in the woods means bugs still get inside on occasion. We provide a broom and dustpan, as sweeping up can help deter bugs.

★ Cell Service: There is typically reliable cell service at the home and in the Massanutten resort area. Depending on how you travel to our home, you may lose cell service on your way or during some of your adventures in the surrounding areas. The home is equipped with high-speed wifi.

★ Community Pool Access: Memorial Day through Labor Day, we provide a pool pass (in the kitchen drawer) which gives guests access to the shared outdoor Stonewall Terrace Pool! Bring the pool pass with you and return to the drawer when not in use. Please note that the pool may be closed on weekdays in late May/early June and mid/late August and additional fees may apply.

★ Trash: Due to bear risk, we do not have outdoor trash cans. Our cleaners take the trash after each guest; however, guests staying longer than 2-3 days should drop off excess trash at community dumpsters during their stay.

★ House & Community Rules: Please note the following house and community rules which allow us to provide a high-quality experience to all of our guests: Guests will respect the check-in and check-out times to allow for timely cleaning services.
