Other things to note  
Welcome to Your Country Getaway!

Bring Your Adventure Gear  
We encourage you to bring along all your favorite outdoor equipment! Whether it's your bicycles for exploring the nearby trails, kayaks or canoes for a peaceful paddle on the River, or fishing gear for out on the ocean - we've got ample parking to accommodate it all. Don't forget your hiking boots, binoculars for bird watching, or even your telescope for stargazing in our clear country skies!  
  
Furry Friend Alert  
As you arrive and throughout your stay, you'll likely be greeted by our friendly property dog. She's part of the welcoming committee and adds to the authentic country experience. Rest assured, she's well-behaved and used to guests, but we wanted to give you a heads up in case you have any concerns or are bringing your own pets.  
  
Outdoor Living  
Remember, country living means embracing the outdoors. You might encounter some friendly insects or hear the soothing sounds of nature at night. We provide a cozy indoor space, but we encourage you to spend time outside, whether it's having a morning coffee on the porch or enjoying an evening barbecue under the stars.
