Guests have access to the living areas, bedrooms, bathrooms, screened porch, patio, fire pit area, kitchen, laundry facilities, and outdoor spaces.
### Important Property Information
This is my personal residence, and one of the reasons I am able to share it with guests is because my work and travel schedule frequently takes me away from home for extended periods.
Rather than leaving the property sitting empty, I enjoy opening it to travelers, families, professionals, and guests who appreciate the unique character, space, and peaceful setting the home provides.
Because this is a lived-in home, guests may notice personal touches, books, décor, pantry items, household supplies, and other signs that this is a well-loved residence rather than a hotel or investment property. Many guests find this creates a more comfortable and authentic experience.
The owner is typically away during guest stays. However, in rare circumstances, brief access may occasionally be required to retrieve work materials, maintenance supplies, or equipment used to support other local properties. Whenever possible, advance notice will be provided, visits are kept brief, and every effort is made to avoid disrupting your stay.

### Areas Not Included
To help set expectations:

### Nature & Country Living
One of the greatest features of this property is its wooded setting. With that comes all of the beauty and realities of country living.
Guests should expect to occasionally encounter:
• Deer

• Seasonal insects
• Spiders
• Stink bugs
• Other outdoor wildlife common to wooded environments
