Guest Access:
Enjoy exclusive access to the entire house and its surrounding property. The backyard, featuring the pool area, is securely fenced with gated access. We happily welcome dogs weighing 40lbs or less, subject to owner approval, with an additional fee of $100 per dog.
Other Things to Note:
Pool Off Season: Please note that we aim to keep our pool open during the off-season as long as it remains economically feasible. The pool is heated using a heat pump that depends on the surrounding air temperature, both day and night. Therefore, even though the heater is set to 84 degrees, the actual water temperature will reflect the average ambient air temperature.
**After the high season, the pool will remain open at the owner's discretion, and they reserve the right to close it at any time.
Nestled at the road's end, our home adjoins the tranquil Sundown forest, ensuring a serene and undisturbed atmosphere. While a nearby convenience store is approximately 10 minutes away, please note their limited offerings. For a wider selection, we recommend a 25-minute drive to either the local supermarket in Stone Ridge or the gourmet market in downtown Accord. For late arrivals, we suggest stocking up on provisions en route to ensure a seamless start to your stay.
Interaction with Guests:
The home is managed by Root & Ramble, a team of locals who will be available 24/7 to ensure your stay is perfect.
