Please note: access to the laundry room is through the garage, which I may occasionally need to access. I’ll always do my best to respect your privacy and give notice if needed.
Other things to note:
Welcome to use the firepit! Let me know in advance if you'd like it pre-stocked with local wood ($10) or you can bring/gather your own.
Kettle bbq also available for $25 per stay, comes with enough charcoal for 1-2 cooks ($15 for a charcoal top-up or bring your own), utensils and lighting material.
Please also note if checking-in after dark, its a rural area and not super well-lit - there are outdoor sensor lights round the front for parking but you may want the flashlight on your phone to get around to the porch entrance (if you let me know you're checking in late I can leave the porch light on for you).
The apartment is heated and features a kitchenette and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, an electric kettle, and an ironing board.
