The driveway can accommodate up to four normal-sized vehicles. Due to a stone wall, there is not enough room for large moving trucks, RVs, campers, or trailers to turn into the driveway. On-road parking is prohibited.

The health and well-being of our guests are paramount. We use a thorough cleaning and sanitization process after each check-out.
