Just a few tips and some house rules to make your stay more comfortable!
House rules-
This is a non-smoking home. This includes cigarettes, vaping, and marijuana. If we find proof that you have been smoking inside or outside the house there will be a $300 fine.
Please enjoy the screened in porch, it's a great place to hang out! We do ask you to be respectful of the neighbors. No parties! Please take your gathering inside by 9 pm on weekdays, 10 pm on the weekends.
There is a fire pit under the screened in porch, it is there for your use! We ask that you do not put the fire pit up on the deck, nor leave the fire pit unattended (yes, I do actually have to mention that… it has happened).
Enjoy the sunny deck! The furniture is also under the screened in porch. It is stored there for easier maintanence, feel free to take it out. Please put the umbrella back down when you are done using it. It knocks over easily if there is any wind. You will also find a tablecloth for the outside table in the dresser near the basement door.
We are a pet friendly house with a fully fenced backyard. We want you and the guests after you, to have full enjoyment of the yard. We ask that you put your pooches poo in the doggie compost bin located in the small metal trash can next to the fence. There is also a scooper You DO NOT need to bundle up your pets presents in bags, they only delay the decomposition process.
There are a few TV's located in the house. The basement TV has basic cable. You will also find a Blu Ray player with Netflix and a few other apps. Both the Master bedroom TV and the main floor TV are smart televisions. If you have accounts for any of these apps and you sign in to them, please remember to log off before you leave. There are a few movies for the Blu Ray, feel free to enjoy!
Tons of books! You will find books all over the house. If you find one you like please feel free to read it. If you take one please leave one.
If you are in need of a clean set of sheets during your stay, you will find them in the upstairs hall closet. There are also towels located there as well. Extra blankets and pillows can be found in the closet of each bedroom as well as the basket next to the couch in the living room.
The pack-n-play is located in the upstairs hall closet as well. If you would like sheets for it they are on the shelf. There is also a booster seat in the closet at the bottom of the stairs.
You will find the iron and ironing board in the laundry room.
