• Check-in / Check-out: To allow us to have the home properly cleaned and prepared for incoming guests, we ask that guests check-out by 11:00 AM and that new guests arrive after 4:00 PM. Check-out prior to 11:00 AM is particularly important as our cleaning personnel normally start cleaning the house promptly at 11:00 AM upon the day of check-out. In terms of check-in, for security and safety we check-in all guests in-person. If check-in in-person is an issue, we would politely ask that you book elsewhere.

This includes a Keurig, regular 10 cup coffee maker, toaster, electronic wine opener, rice cooker, baking supplies, Insta-Pot, and some basic condiments.
