Some Things to Know
Yes, this part is important...
First, in full transparency, we want to let parents know that this property is not kid friendly. Though we have taken many things into account in making it so, we want you to know we do not advise parents to not leave any child under the age of 17 unattended.
Moving on...
You are near the woods, and there are bugs in the woods...sometimes those bugs can get inside. Most commonly found are the "stink bugs". No, they don't actually stink, and they are 100% harmless.
No smoking is permitted anywhere on the premises.
No explosives....we shouldn't even have to say it but here we are.
No pets. Service animals permitted with proof of documentation.
No ATVs.
Breaking any of these rules may result in a $150 penalty fee.
Do not feed wildlife. They will take up residence.
Things We Love About the Home
Did you know we are powered by both electric AND solar? Our concrete floors are heated using hot water through copper pipping, which uses solar and electricity.
We added a remote-controlled gas fireplace in the living room that is easy to use and adds heat and a cozy atmosphere, for those cooler months.
The main floor bathroom hosts a tin-plated shower as well as his and hers sinks.
Our large glass garage door allows more light in and opens up the space even more. Another great spot to gaze out from.
Let's Go Outside
Parking and Trailers
When turning off of highway 26, you will be met with a dirt county road. Please keep your driving speed between 15-20 mph. There are other residences that live in the area and frequently drive in and out. Be safe when driving.
Once you turn into the property's driveway, you will notice that is a single lane road and is steep in some parts. Use caution.
There is parking in multiple areas, but we ask you park your vehicle(s) just on the top, outside of the home.
Upon request, we will allow trailers if you have a larger party that wants to stay. $40 per trailer. There are no hookups. Trailer spots can be found below the home on the right.
The rock wall is not for climbing! May not be stable.
We are not allowing guest to go into the orchard at this time.
