Early or late check-in may be available for an added fee with at least 24 hours’ notice. Same-day requests cannot be guaranteed due to cleaning schedules.

Important Travel Info
There is no cell service at the house. Please enable WiFi calling on your phone before arrival to make and receive calls over the internet.

A vehicle is required to get around. There are no ride-share services (Uber/Lyft) or reliable taxis in this rural area.
Winter Travel Advisory (October–April)
Delaware County is mountainous and beautiful—especially in the winter—but it can be snowy and icy. Please plan accordingly.
We strongly recommend:
AWD, FWD, or 4WD vehicles
Winter or all-season tires with solid tread
Avoiding 2WD or RWD vehicles in snow or icy conditions
The driveway is plowed and maintained in the winter, and a shovel is provided to help you clear walkways if needed.
Country Living Note
This home is located in a rural area, surrounded by nature. While we professionally treat the exterior, insects or mice may occasionally find their way indoors—especially in cooler months when they seek warmth.
If you`re sensitive to wildlife or critters, this may not be the best fit for your stay.
Water & Septic System
The home runs on a private well and septic system, which is common in rural communities.
Please help us care for it by:
Conserving water during dry spells
Avoiding water games like sprinklers, kiddie pools, or Slip ‘N Slides
Only flushing toilet paper—no wipes, paper towels, or hygiene products
Misuse can lead to water shortages or costly repairs, so we thank you for your care and consideration.
