Other things to note
Do note that even though its been renovated several times over the years, our home is nearly 120 years old! A lot of that original charm is gorgeous crown molding, but also beware of the low ceiling height coming down the stairs, some uneven original wood floors upstairs and every so often a new cosmetic crack appears from the home settling.

Being on the river means enjoying nature - bald eagles, osprey, herons and dolphins (if you are lucky!) but also bugs, flies, & mosquitos are common. Try to keep exterior storm doors closed and food in sealed containers to keep nature out of the home.

We also try to be as green as possible with our laundry. Towels are provided for each person. Let us know in advance if your guest numbers change or you would like additional ones for your stay.

We'll do our best to make sure as many amenities are available as possible, but due to shortages and shipping delays there may be some difficulty replacing items if and when they break. In particular, hot tub parts can be difficult to obtain should we need them.

Security cameras are located at the front and back of the home and monitor only exterior areas of the home. Recording is motion-activated. We take guest privacy very seriously and only review footage if and when an issue arises.
