Guest Notes
• Water: Our water comes from a shared underground well and may have a light sulfur scent, though it is perfectly safe to drink. We’ve installed triple ozone, multi-stage filtration, and reverse osmosis systems in both kitchens for purified drinking water. If you prefer city water, we recommend staying in town.
• Access: All-wheel drive is recommended year-round, especially in winter. The home is reached via 800 ft of unpaved road leading to our private gravel drive.
• EV Charging: Complimentary Level 2 EV charger (NEMA 10-30) with Tesla adapter available in the carport.
• Pets: Subject to pre-approval, $100 per pet. Please provide pet type when booking.
