Please note: the pond is shared with between the two properties. ***
Please clean dishes and leave cottage tidy.
Gravel driveway- put your car in low gear and drive slow and steady. Don’t stop on the hill. Don’t spin your wheels. If you stop- back down slowly and start again. These are suggestions for driving on gravel.
No wipes, feminine products, or anything other than toilet paper in the toilet because it’s a septic system.
Turn off heat/ air conditioning when you leave for the day.
***Birds Nest is not baby or small child safe at this time.***
It’s a two story small cottage. The entire upstairs is the bedroom. The bathroom and kitchen are down stairs and the staircase is external and uncovered.
You must exit the bedroom via an external staircase to get to the downstairs bathroom.
Air conditioner is installed in the bedroom seasonally.
Area is hot in the summer and cold in winter.
This is not a luxury resort. The pond fluctuates in depth. Bugs and wildlife are abundant.
There is no tv. There is no oven.
We will share all our favorite places but you may not want to ever leave.
In the winter check weather as you may need chains.
There is water on the property as well as steep drop offs and animals. If you bring children they must be supervised at all times!

The bathroom has a toilet that can be accessed separate from the shower. So someone can take a shower and the toilet is a separate space with a door, often called a water closet. There is only one bathroom but because of this design it is functional for most groups of 6.
If you are bringing small kids; this is a fragile home with lots of opportunities to damage the lime covered walls. Strawbale is covered with breathable lime plaster which some small hands may want to gouge, pick or otherwise destroy. Also, there is a fountain with over two feet of water outside the back door. There are several steep cliffs, drop offs and areas to fall. There are wild animals all around. It is a magical home and surroundings but we have Mt lions, coyotes, cliffs, ponds- you get the idea. Kids will need to be closely supervised.
House has shades that can be drawn in the summer and we have added window air conditioners to cool it off on very hot days.
