Guest access
Hersey Hideaway is nestled on a peaceful, private dirt road. There is a long driveway available for your use, and ample parking for everyone’s vehicles. Should we have heavy rain or snow, a four-wheel drive is recommended for traveling on our dirt roads. Drive slow, as you'll likely see a variety of wildlife on your travels in.
Other things to note
There are three exterior security cameras on the property. Two cameras are facing the driveway along with one doorbell camera. These are for us to verify cleaners and handymen have prepared the property for your stay!
While there is no washer/dryer on site, we do supply an extra set of linens for each bed.
Dogs are welcome! If you are bringing a dog on your vacation, there will be a $75 fee.
