PORCH and BACKYARD

The front porch is covered and allows you to enjoy the treelined street and watch the local cars and bikes go by.

The large backyard is fully fenced with a black chainlink fence. It has a patio table with chairs, a gas barbecue grill, and a wood burning fire pit.

We will start you with a bundle of firewood, please pick up additional bundles of firewood (available at the local gas station) if you would like to burn more.

Please remember to pick up after your dogs do their business. We have a dog basket with poo bags so you will always have some nearby to help keep the yard clean for all guests.

💥 Noise monitoring: We use a Minut noise monitoring device inside the home. This does not record, it only monitors decibels of sound to alert us if guests are being loud. This means louder than normal dinner table conversation during neighborhood quiet hours.

⏰ Quiet hours are 10pm to 7am. Thank you for respecting our neighborhood.
