Guest access
The entire vacation home will be solely yours during your stay. Our property is great for hiking including our 2.4 acres of land and rock formations for you to explore. You may hike to Pulpit Rock directly from Hidden Gem if you are the adventure types. Hiking time is about 40 minutes depending on physical fitness [and a good sense of direction] by crossing unmarked paths, ravines, and rock formations to get there. This is an area with great glimpse of wildlife.

Note, during winter season, in [rare] case of heavy snow, it is highly recommended that you travel in a high clearance and four-wheel drive capable vehicle with good winter tires in order to get through our paved but steep driveway. Otherwise, we would recommend parking the vehicles in the immediate cul-de-sac area.

Other things to note
We will send a soft-copy welcoming package prior to your arrival. Upon checking in, guests are required to sign pool waiver if they wish to use the pool. Guest(s) must agree to perform or request host to assist with basic pool maintenance when stay is longer than 4 nights.

COVID-19 INFORMATION -- guests' safety is our #1 priority:
• Our pool is safe per CDC: "There is no evidence that COVID-19 can be spread to humans through the use of pools and hot tubs. Proper operation, maintenance, and disinfection (e.g., with chlorine and bromine) of pools and hot tubs should remove or inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19." We use chlorine, pool shocks, and UV light to keep our pool germs free even before COVID-19.
• All our cleaners are fully vaccinated for COVID-19.
• When it is possible, effective 4/14/21, we have at least 1 night buffered between checkout & check-in groups.
• We provide hand sanitizer(s), disinfectant wipes, and latex gloves for our guests to use during their stays.
• We have between 2-5 cleaners depending on group sizes to perform cleaning. We use disinfectant solutions on door knobs, rails, kitchen and bathroom surfaces, etc.
• We have sufficient linens so that our towels and sheets are washed, stored, and rotated between different groups so that no consecutive groups are sharing the same set of towels or linens.
