***This is 1 of 2 vacation rentals on the property. Bear Cottage is a basement unit and there is a separate vacation rental above called the Bird's Nest. Due to this being a basement unit, you will hear the guests above you if the upper unit is rented during your stay. We provide white noise machines and earbuds in both bedrooms. Each unit has its own designated parking area and private entrance. Both units are kept private and inaccessible from each other via two locked interior doors. The upstairs unit (The Bird's Nest) is equipped with its own dedicated outdoor grill, firepit and patio. Bird's Nest guests will not have access to the parking, outdoor grill, lawn, or the firepit designated to Bear Cottage. You will not have access to the hot tub upstairs!

Each unit has its own designated parking area and private entrance. You will not be able to access the other unit from the inside.
