We do not encourage nor discourage guests bringing whatever they deem necessary to protect themselves, however, if you leave a weapon of any sort on the premises, and it is not recovered by our house cleaner, and the next guest finds it and complains or gets hurt- you are responsible. By bringing said weapon to the premises you are forming a unilateral contract and agreeing to this.

Guest access
The entire home is available for your enjoyment. We think you will find the wide open and airiness of this home a delight!

Other things to note
Keyless door entry code provided. Please make sure the door is pulled all the way closed before locking. Please use hot tub towel rack outside for wet towels if the weather is good- we try to minimize wet towels inside if possible with the new floors.

Propane provided but please do not abuse this free amenity. Please be mindful of the next guests coming and turn off when you are done using. We had one guest use them all night and they both ran out- they were brand new tanks.

Early check in at 2pm for $30*
Late check out at 2pm for $30*

There is extra citronella for the tiki torches available on the little black table near the propane fire pit. Feel free to fill the tiki torches if you need more during your stay. As of right now, we do not provide fire wood, but you are welcome to use any fire kindling you find near the home as this is a beautifully wooded area except during a burn ban of course. Please be mindful and observant of any burn bans as when a burn ban is in effect sometimes Moore County does not allow burning even near homes.

Please be mindful of the candles in the bedroom. We have had issues in the past with soot but want them there for your enjoyment!

We do have a propane fire pit and provide propane which means even if there is a burn ban in effect you can always enjoy the propane fire pit on the deck at any time of the year.

If you would like, please feel free to write a note in our guest reflection journal. Some of our guests like to do this and we enjoy looking at handwritten reviews as well.

Enjoy.

Hi guys! If I host you, please leave a review, it does help- I am a ⭐️FIVE STAR HOST, just trying to shake that one star I got from a guest who booked instantly at 11pm and messaged me at 3am asking for a refund... I was asleep, sorry not a vampire. Real estate investor turned developer for 15 years turned Airbnb Hostess. Met my husband through real estate: he is a builder. Let us know if you need anything!
