Unfortunately not. The farm across the street is private property and there is absolutely no trespassing. But feel free to admire them from our large wraparound front porch!
Up to 11 total people (including children) are allowed in the house or on the property at one time. Any guests not on your reservation must be registered with us in advance.
No matter whether you book with us directly or through a 3rd party like Airbnb, VRBO or Booking.com, a rental agreement must be electronically signed and submitted in advance of your stay by a member of your party. You will not receive the door code to the property until we receive the renters agreement and security deposit.
No matter whether you book with us directly or through a 3rd party like Airbnb, VRBO or Booking.com, a $249 security deposit is required. The security deposit will be treated as a “soft hold” on your credit card and will be released within 7 days of your departure less any damage that is discovered. The amount returned from the security deposit is at the sole discretion of the owners.
No. There is strictly no smoking or vaping of any kind allowed anywhere on or in the property. Any damage or additional cleaning incurred from smoking will be withdrawn from your security deposit and additional fees may be required.
Yes. While we might not have lions and tigers, there are bears (oh, my!). They do not come around all that often, but they are real and they are big. We have not seen any this year, but our next door neighbors had one in their yard . Please do not leave food outside anywhere and keep trash in the shed. Please do not send your kids outside without adult supervision. There is a bear horn in the laundry room in case of emergency. Also, this is the country; field mice, foxes, deer, ducks, beaver, spiders, bees and other insects share this land with us. Please be advised that you will likely see some of the above.
No. All skis and snowboards, must be left outside on the porch or in your car.
No. The sensor for the central heat is located on the ground floor, so it is typically 4 to 5 degrees cooler upstairs. We suggest turning up the heat an extra 4 to 5 degrees about an hour before bed-time. Note that the thermostat for the entire house is located on the side of the stairs closest to the dining room and across from the neon sign.
Yes! We love it when friends of friends stay with us. Please inquire with us after your stay.
We have a generator in the front of the house that will switch on automatically whenever there is a power outage. Please note that the generator powers much of the house including the heat and refrigerator, but not every single outlet. If the generator does not switch on during a power outage, please contact us immediately.
We are in a rural area and the Xfinity service can go down from time to time. It usually will switch back on by itself. If the wifi is down for more than an hour or two, please contact us and we will troubleshoot it for you.
