Things to Note:

We keep wood in the garage for $10 for 8 pieces. Please don't take wood without paying. We use the money to replenish the wood for your convenience. Inform me at the end of the stay and you can pay directly on VRBO via credit card or you can Zelle. Please reach out to the host at the end of the stay to inform her how much you owe for replenishing the wood.

We only allow usage of the Washer and Dryer for 5 day stays or more. Please plan accordingly. If that is an issue, reach out to Renee.

During the winter we keep snow shovels in the garage and near the front entrance. We also keep ice melt if needed. Apply it ahead and let it sit so it has time to melt ice off the steps.

We have regular professional pest control, however it is the mountains where spiders and rodents live in the forest.

For emergencies, please notify me immediately even if it is late. We want to do our best to fix any issues that arise in a timely manner. We will keep in mind not to be disruptive to your vacation. We always want to retain the opportunity to handle issues as they arise and before checkout, if logical and possible.
