A secondary door is located off the side of the property for easy access to the driveway if you are carrying items but we only provide exterior access to the front door. **If you open the side door, please ensure it is locked each time when leaving.
The door uses the August Home smart lock and can be accessed by sending us your cellphone information prior to check in. Once you provide your cellphone and we add your number, you will receive a text message with additional instructions on how to download the app. Upon arrival to the front door, simply open the August Home app and press the circle to unlock the front door (the phone will sense the door lock via Bluetooth). We will also send you a unique pin pad code either as a backup or for primary use if you prefer not to download the door lock app.
In the event that technology fails, we have a backup lockbox hidden on site for emergency access.

- We are pet friendly BUT all of our guests do not have pets or appreciate pet hair. Therefore, we charge an extra $57 pet cleaning fee that is passed on entirely to our cleaning crew. This ensures that they spend the extra time removing any pet hair from linens and towels, spend extra time cleaning baseboard trim, wiping fan blades, cleaning HVAC filters, etc. If you do not select "Add Pet" when booking and you stay with a pet, the $57 cleaning fee will be requested from you at checkout. Please select Add Pet in your initial booking to avoid this interaction.
- We absolutely prohibit any and all smoking and drug use at our properties. This behavior makes it extremely difficult to turnover the unit for a new guest likely arriving the same day of your departure.

This is a non-negotiable. Do not book if you plan to smoke.

The property was as described. Check-in was easy, communication with owner was great and overall my stay was great! Neighborhood was quiet so had restful sleep. Would definitely stay again.
Host was very responsive when needed. All the necessary requirements were included and the spaces were clean. I would like directions on how to operate the heater but we figured it out. Thank you for a nice place to call home for two weeks.
