Parking:
This property has three vacation rental units. The circular driveway has designated parking spots for each unit.

The private entrance is marked with a green plaque titled "Elwha Place" and a ramp that leads to the red front door.
Other things to Note:
There are three rental units on this property.
Please note the apartment has one shared wall with the main house. The door between the main house and the apartment is located next to the kitchen and is locked on both sides by the owner for security, neither the guest in the apartment or guests inside the main house can open this door. There is a slight potential for noise from guests in the main house, but fairly uncommon. The other rental unit is a stand alone cottage. All three rental units share a common circle driveway.
All outdoor areas including the yards, the private trails to the creek, the play structure, the outdoor fire pits and the gazebo seating area are shared with other guests.
If you would like to book both the main house and the stand alone cottage along with the apartment, inquire with owner regarding availability and we can send you the VRBO link for the main house (Indian Valley Retreat) and the stand alone cottage (Indian Creek Cottage). Great way to accommodate large family groups.
Burn Bans may be in effect during the summer months of July to October, the use of outdoor fire pits may be affected if conditions are too dry. It is your responsibility to check to see if a burn ban is in place before starting a fire. We have added propane fire pits for you to use when the wood burning pits are not an option.
***External security cameras have been added to the entrance/exit of each of the vacation rental units and parking area.
