Guest Access:
Guests can access both the front and back of the surrounding property, as well as all parts on the main level.

The upstairs and garage/basement areas will be locked until fully renovated for the safety of our guests.

The Neighborhood:
Our neighborhood is rural, so guests will most likely not see or hear nearby neighbors. Even so, we ask that our guests still show them respect by refraining from making loud noises during the late night/early morning hours.

Getting Around:
Please park in the front of the house and when exiting the property turn around in the area by the picnic table and drive forward. One thing to note however is that the driveway has a steep slope, so cars without 4-wheel drive may have some difficultly navigating around the property. If you do not have 4-wheel drive DO NOT back out of the driveway.

Other Things to Note:
This property is best suited for vehicles with 4-wheel drive. We are located on a mountain, and being so, have a steep driveway with potential for rough and/or uneven terrain.
