⚠️ We do our best to ensure there is propane available for grills and/or fire pits, but cannot guarantee there will be propane for use throughout your stay. If all available tanks are empty, we ask that you refill a tank and provide a receipt for reimbursement. ‼️Note: be sure to refill/replace the existing tanks - do not purchase a brand new tank.
⚠️ Given our property's rural setting, you might occasionally notice small, non-harmful insects. Rest assured, we have comprehensive, year-round pest control measures in place and work hard to minimize these encounters. Thank you for your understanding, and please let us know if you have any concerns!
⚠️ Friendly Note: 🐻 Since our home is tucked in nature, you may spot a black bear in the area from time to time. No worries - they’re generally well-behaved and prefer to keep their distance from people. As long as food and trash are secured, they’ll simply wander by and continue on their way.

🛠️ Please Note: The sauna area is currently undergoing some construction and improvements to make the space even better for our guests. That said, the sauna itself is fully functional and ready for you to enjoy during your stay! We appreciate your understanding while we give the area a bit of a refresh!

🛠️ Please note that backyard work materials have been delivered to the property and are currently being stored in the garage area in preparation for future backyard maintenance. No construction or work will take place during your stay, and the materials are neatly stored to avoid any disruption. We appreciate your understanding and want to be fully transparent so there are no surprises upon arrival. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out as we’re happy to help!

We totally get that guests look forward to relaxing in the hot tub, and we only perform this maintenance when absolutely necessary to ensure a clean and safe experience for everyone 💧👍.
