TRASH: Please bring trash from the kitchen to the bin at the end of the driveway.
FIRE PIT AND WOOD STOVE Please never leave burning or smoldering logs unsupervised inside the house. Pour water on the fire pit outside after use until the fire is completely out.

TOWELS: At the end of your stay, please start a wash for all towels used. The washer and dryer are located in the kitchen beyond the two double doors.
PETS: Pets must be pre-approved before. Any damage will be the renter’s full responsibility. Bringing a pet without prior approval will result in a loss of your security deposit.
SAFETY OUTSIDE: Please never go out on the deck barefoot. Always check for ticks at the end of each day after spending time in the woods—this is really important. Keep a lookout for poison ivy when hiking.
INFANTS: Please be advised the house is not Infant-proof. If you do bring an infant, please be very careful and always keep an eye on them.
BEDS: Strip only the beds you used and leave sheets next to the beds on the floor.

We are allotted a limited amount of trash a week at our local transfer station, and will charge a $50 trash overage fee if additional trash is left.
KEYS: If you used the keys, put them safely back in their original position.
LAST ITEMS: Please make sure the lights are off, windows are closed, and the door is locked upon check-out.
