The property is shared with the main house which is a separate home. The guesthouse is close to the main house but we are typically in the backyard when we are outside.
You may see our chickens roaming around occasionally (Baby Baby Lollipop, Thumbelina, and Queenie) and our neighbor has peacocks/peahens that occasionally make an appearance. You may also hear cows in the valley and see elk congregating on the valley floor at certain times of the year.

There is parking dedicated to the guesthouse with room for two vehicles. If there will be more vehicles or abnormally large vehicles please let us know so we can see how we can accommodate them.
The stairs to the upstairs bedroom are steep and should be avoided if guests have mobility issues. There are baby gates that can be put up in the unit to keep small children off the stairs.
There is a security camera monitoring the driveway in front of main house.
