Guest Access:

GETTING IN



The front door has a Schlage smart-lock keypad — no key needed. Your 4-digit access code arrives by message before your check-in date:

- It activates at your scheduled check-in time and works through check-out.

- A 4-digit backup code is included in case the primary doesn't work.

- If neither code works, message us through your booking platform and we'll respond as quickly as possible.



PARKING



Free parking for up to 4 cars in the driveway. Street parking is not allowed and may result in ticketing or towing.



GETTING HERE



The home sits along a wooded mountain ridge. Front-wheel drive is sufficient most of the year. AWD or 4WD is required November through April due to gravel access roads and winter conditions. The access road has steep sections.



INSIDE



You have access to the entire house. Two areas are locked and reserved for the owner: a closet downstairs in the family room, and a storage container in the laundry room. Please don't try to access them during your stay.



HOT TUB



The hot tub is included in your stay, but does require a signed waiver before first use. The waiver link is sent in your guest message after booking — sign it on your phone, no printer needed. If you have any trouble with the waiver or activation portal, message us directly through your booking platform and we'll get it sorted same-day.



CHECK-OUT & CLEANING



Standard check-out is by your scheduled departure time. Our cleaning team typically arrives shortly after — they may park at the top of the road or out of immediate view, so please don't feel rushed if you don't spot them right at checkout. If you'd like a late checkout, we may be able to offer one for $50 (subject to next-day reservation timing).
