-Guests must clean up after themselves in the kitchen and strip bedding before checkout
-Spills and puddles of water must be cleaned up promptly including the bathroom. This will help preserve our floors for years to come.
-We are a very small safe college town but have motion detection cameras on your driveway parking spot only, for your piece of mind and security.

About the host
Hosted by Larissa Munsch
We love anything old or quirky! Kris teaches construction management at FHSU, is a home inspector, writer (The Birdhouse Project) and saver of anything old. He has restored over 50 houses and was featured in This Old House magazine. Larissa also conducts home inspections but from the environmental aspect - radon, mold, and carbon monoxide. Larissa enjoys researching and designing the old houses that they work on together. Larissa also runs @oldhouselove on Instagram. When we aren't working on our projects or inspecting we enjoy playing with our two dogs and traveling. We are currently restoring our Craftsman Farmhouse in which we live.
