CREEK: feel free to explore!

FIELDS: The field behind the home to the tree line is yours to explore. You may on occasion see a farmer coming up the driveway or working in the field.

Due to its remote location, there are a few things to keep in mind:

*The WIFI works well, but it is not quite strong enough for consistent streaming. We recommend downloading anything you'd like to watch ahead of time, casting from your phone, etc.

*Cell phones will work well when connected to the wifi.

*We promise to resolve any unforeseen maintenance issues that may arise as quickly as possible, but ask for your flexibility in understanding the limitations to being a remote location.
