Wildlife Encounters

Staying in the countryside means you may encounter wildlife. In the evenings, you might notice insects, some of which may occasionally enter the house. Please keep windows and doors closed when possible.

Additionally, black bears are known to explore the area, often attracted by food smells. For your safety: Avoid leaving food unattended on decks, porches, or grills.

Lock your car doors, as bears have been known to investigate unlocked vehicles in search of snacks.
