Your safety matters. So we have outfitted the property with a first aid kit, fire extinguisher and fire blanket provided as well as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

We comply with and exceed all COVID-19 VRBO sanitizing regulations and take extra measures to sanitize ALL bedding (including pillows) with enhanced steam sanitation between each guest.

☆☆ Other Things to Note ☆☆
-The kitchen sink does not have a garbage disposal so please keep traps in both drains and do not put food down the sink.
-The ice maker in the fridge does not work so we have provided ice trays.
-The igniter on the gas grill does not work so you will need to light it with a lighter located in the kitchen.
-Our home is situated on a spacious wooded lot. While we take pride in keeping the property clean and well-maintained, please be aware that occasional encounters with nature—like spotting a bug or two—are possible. This is a normal part of life in a wooded area, and we appreciate your understanding!
