The paved parking area comfortably accommodates three cars, and access from the parking level to the main level entrance is by a staircase from the parking area. Important Notes: \- Pet Rent: $25/nt plus tax. Only one (1) mature, well-trained dog will be allowed. Please do not request an exception. \-The owner of this home uses exterior security cameras to montor the home and ensure it remains safe when unoccupied. One camera overlooks the driveway, one overlooks the front porch, and one overlooks the side yard. No cameras are aimed at doors, windows, the hot tub, or the firepit and there are no interior security cameras. \- Firewood for the outside firepit may be purchased at the time of booking or with a week's notice. You receive two wrapped, kiln-dried bundles and a fire starter for $25 plus tax per night. \- It is plowed in winter, but 4WD or AWD vehicles are required November-March, and chains may also be necessary to access all properties in winter months. We are happy to help you find the home with the access you are most comfortable with, any time of year! \- All BRMR homes offer well stocked kitchens with all utensils needed to cook meals. There is also a "starter set" of paper products at the house: a roll of toilet paper per bath, several garbage bags, a small vial of dishwashing liquid, a few tablets of dishwasher detergent, some laundry pods, a roll of paper towels, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and some makeup remover cloths.
