A few things to note before booking The Crow's Nest:

*You will have to climb 19 exterior steps to get to the entrance of our guest house. There are no interior steps once you’re inside.

*We have a separate and free WiFi for our guest house; you’ll be given the network name and password before you arrive. You’ll need to enable your phone for WiFi calling since cell service is unreliable where we live.

*We do allow dogs (housebroken and friendly dogs only for a maximum of 2) for a one time fee. We do have a small dog and two cats that live here with us. If your dog isn’t great with other animals, then you will need to keep them on a leash. Please make sure to check the box "I am traveling with pets" on the "travelers” portion of your reservation so that the pet fee will automatically generate.

*Our surrounding yard is large but it is not fenced in, so your dog will need to remain under your control when on our property. We have two cats and a small dog that live with us and we routinely have deer, turkey and rabbits visit us here. If your dog isn’t good with other animals you will need to keep your dog leashed while outside. There is a low voltage electric fence on the farmland next door and below our property so be sure to make children aware of this and do your best to keep pets away from the fencing.

*The gravel road in front of our house is a privately maintained driveway that leads to two other full time residences. Please do not go down our road out front past our house, (to the right of our property as looking at it from the front) as while our neighbors are wonderful and friendly they would prefer to maintain their privacy.

*Before booking, please be sure to read over our house rules first to make sure it is a good fit for your group. When you make your reservation, please tell us the total number of people in your group and should you be travelling with any pets, let us how many you will be bringing. Lastly, if you have any specific questions about the property, please feel free to include a message with your booking request.

Thank you for your interest in The Crow's Nest! We look forward to sharing our little slice of heaven with you!
