A few neighbors' houses are somewhat visible from the bus. Neighborhood noises including dogs/cars/roosters/etc are also possible, as are the sounds of wildlife! We've seen deer, heard bobcats, and are stunned by the variety of birdsong we hear in the mornings.
We are in the process of restoring our land. Shoes are required on the lot, as there could be remaining debris from the previous owners. For the same reason, we also require guests to stick to the gravel and mulched areas and paths.
Other things to note
The bus is visible from the road, however we are one of only 3 houses on this street, so traffic is minimal (though it can be fast).
đž Pet Policy
Weâre happy to welcome well-behaved dogs! There is a $50 pet fee per stay to help cover additional cleaning and upkeep so we can continue offering a fresh, comfortable space for every guest (and their furry friends đś).
Please make sure to add your pet to your reservation when booking, or let us know before check-in so we can update your stay accordingly.
