IMPORTANT NOTES:
*We are located in a forested area, which means you may encounter wildlife. We ask that you give them space, and do not feed any wildlife. We also recommend packing insect repellent, as mosquitos and ticks are prevalent during spring/summer months.
*Our home is not air conditioned, as the NE summer coastal climate does not demand it. We do however, have multiple ceiling fans in place, as well as provide additional fans for cooling and circulation during summer months. An extension pole for opening recessed windows on the ceiling can also be found in the upstairs twin bedroom.
*Our home has a doorbell camera, which is located at the front door. It is for the security of the property, as well as guest safety. We ask that it remains unobstructed in order to function properly. In addition, the modem/router must stay plugged in at all times as well to maintain proper WiFi connection.
*We do offer a firepit for campfires, but there are frequent drought/burn restrictions in our area. Please be aware due to circumstances beyond our control that it may not be available for campfires during your stay
