We truly want you to enjoy your time and make some wonderful memories with your group. That being said, this is not a party or gathering house for groups that can't control their noise levels. We have relationships with all of our neighbors who have our direct contact information. Quiet time is 10:00 pm to 8:00 am. Please stay indoors during this time, keep the windows and doors closed and keep the volume to an enjoyable but reasonable level. If it is loud enough to be heard outside in these conditions, it is too loud for you to remain our guest. This property includes a noise alert monitoring system in order to ensure that neighborhood noise levels are respected. Again, please realize we want every group to enjoy their time, laugh, have fun and make memories. These devices are only to ensure noise levels don't reach a threshold that bothers our neighbors. Also, please note there is no electronic video surveillance monitoring pools or spas, or on the interior of the house.
This is not a pet friendly home.

The A-Frame was cozy, beautifully maintained, and had cool, unique architecture. We had a wonderful time. I wish I could have stayed longer. Communication from the property owners was exceptional.

The TV did not work for the entire stay and a person came to look at it but could not fix the problem. I had to stand on a chair to reach the dishes and crockery. Fire place did not work.
