Guests may have access to the pond, but watch for our country critters that say ssssssssss----< - there are cattle that have access to the pond area, so if you access it, it is imperative that you close and fasten the gate.

There is a single small cabin attached to the main house through the garage. The host lives in that apartment. They have NO access to the guest portion of the house during guest stays. Their porch space is gated off from the guest area. For this reason, please do not park in the lane next to the concrete garage approach (lane is marked), as this is the lane to the back of the host cabin, as well as host camping area.If the host is unavailable in person, they will be available by phone, and a co-host will be assigned for emergency needs. Host and co-host will give guest complete privacy.
