Other Things to Note:

Please note that there is currently no internet at the home. We love being able to disconnect and make the most of our time on the river; however, when needed, a cellphone will work for basic services. Disposal is turned on by the countertop button. The light switch next to the sink must be flipped on for it to work. The path down to the water is paved but very steep; therefore, it is not an option for everyone.



We kindly ask guests to treat all towels and linens with care. If any items are stained or damaged beyond repair, a replacement fee will be charged to cover the cost of new linens. This helps us maintain a high standard of cleanliness and comfort for all future guests. Thank you for your understanding!



We require a signed rental agreement, and for guests to be 21 years of age to book. If you notify us of your intent to cancel prior to the lapse of the free cancellation period, we will return 97% of your payment. The other 3% will already have been collected by the credit card processing company, and we have no way to return that portion of the payment.



Interaction with Guests:

We like to give our guests maximum privacy, so we offer contact-free check-in via a lockbox. Just know that we are only a phone call away if ever the need arises during your stay!
