Other Things to Note:
✔️ The Woodstock Barn is a historic property with unique character and charm. Given the nature of older structures and our wooded surroundings, it’s possible that a friendly critter or the occasional bug might find its way inside. We clean thoroughly—including just before your arrival—and always strive to create a spotless and welcoming environment. Thanks in advance for understanding the quirks that come with staying in a space with such unique history.
✔️ Events and parties are not permitted to maintain peace in our residential neighborhood.
✔️ Parking is available in designated spaces on the property. Please note that the garage is not accessible to guests. The fire pit is available for use, adhering to all safety instructions.
✔️ Note that none of the common areas nor bedrooms have air conditioning (the entire house is heated). But thats for a reason - we've received overwhelming feedback that the home stays cool enough even in the hottest summer days.
✔️ You’ll have full access to the entire property, with the exception of a small attached owner’s cabin. Rest assured, the owners will not be onsite during your stay, so you’ll enjoy complete privacy throughout your visit.
