Guest access
You have full access to the home, the firepit, the flat area behind the home, and the hill below the home. The space directly above the home is rented by our Amish property caretakers. You may also explore the property but please do not enter any buildings except the chapel, trash bin, and your rental. Please do not approach the farm house or the yard to the front or right of the farmhouse to give the other renters their privacy.

Other things to note
🚗 Parking & Access

Two parking spaces only; no on-street or grass parking. Use driveway to turn around but not for parking. Narrow, curvy mountain roads — drive slowly, especially after dark. AWD/4x4 recommended in winter.

🐾 Farm Setting & Wildlife

Active small farm with Dexter cows, Appaloosa & Welsh ponies, horses, chickens and seasonal muddy spots. Do not touch electric fences. You may also see black bears, copperheads and rattlesnakes — carry bear spray and review safety tips at BearWise if exploring.

🏡 Privacy & Chapel

This is one of three rentals on the property. The house and yard are private for you; you may see caretakers or other guests while exploring shared grounds. A rustic country chapel on site is open for quiet reflection or small ceremonies — just ask.

📋 House Rules
