Other things to Note:
Please note this apartment has one shared wall with the main house. The door leading to the main house is located next to the kitchen and is locked by the owner for security, neither the guest in the apartment or inside the main house can open this door. There is a potential for noise from guests in the main house, but fairly uncommon.

All outdoor areas including the yards, private trails to the creek, play structure, outdoor fire pits and gazebo seating area are shared with other guests. If you would like to book both the main house and the apartment, inquire with owner regarding availability and we can send you the VRBO link for the main house.

Burn Bans may be in effect during the summer months of July to October, the use of outdoor fire pits may be affected if conditions are too dry. It is your responsibility to check to see if a burn ban is in place before starting a fire. We have added propane fire pits this year for you to use when the wood burning pits are not an option.

***External security cameras have been added to the entrance/exit of each of the vacation rental units and parking area.
