The key to the house has a Priority Mail (we've paid the postage) envelope to return the key.
** NO Pets **
We do accept L - O - N - G weekend rentals (3-night minimum) in the fall.
* * Changeover Cleanings * *
Our housekeeper (Olga) is meticulous. Her attention to detail -- including a new table cloth for every new tenant -- guarantees that our tenants will not be disappointed with the condition of the house when they arrive for their vacation.
Given this year's COVID19 challenge, Olga will be giving our house extra ''TLC'' by sanitizing important surfaces (door knobs, switches, handles, and more). She will also be changing many essential items during each changeover cleaning (mattress pads, pillow protectors, shower curtain, and more items). There will be an initialed and dated checklist on kitchen counter for you to see what has been sanitized.
* * Handy man * *
Chris is our handy man extraordinaire. He responds the same day -- often within hours. Knowledgeable, friendly, courteous -- we know we can depend on him when our tenants need something fixed ''now''.
* * Child Safety * *
When our daughter was a toddler, we made sure that this house was safe for her. The deck features latched gates that little fingers cannot open. There are ''Safety First'' child safety cabinet locks for the sink cabinets, plug socket covers, and a door knob cover for the basement door.
* * Linens * *
We do * not * provide linens. However, if you do not want to pack sheets and towels, we provide the contact information for an outstanding, local linen service. They drop off and pick up. (Very popular with our European tenants!)
