I follow Airbnb’s enhanced cleaning protocol, which was developed with expert guidance.
Here are a few highlights:
We sanitize high-touch surfaces, and use cleaners and disinfectants approved by global health agencies.
We comply with local laws, including any additional safety or cleaning guidelines.
Please note that we are unable to request early check-in or late checkout requests. This is so we can be both compliant with AirBnb's Enchanced Cleaning protocols and allow our professional, licensed and insured cleaners to earn a living by honoring their work schedule as we are not the only property they maintain. Thank you!

The entire property and grounds are accessible to you and you will have them all to yourselves!

Other things to note
While this property has a yard and is partially fenced, we are not able to welcome pets. No parties. Tampering with the outdoor security camera is a violation of the house rules and your reservation will be terminated immediately. No refund will be given.
Please note that while the house has a charcoal grill and firepit that you are welcome to use, we do not provide charcoal or wood. The hardware store in town sells both.
