It is just my husband and I and we still work for a living. However we have the luxury of working from home so can be around for anything you need or want.

We didnt build this home intending it to be a rental so it is built with quality. We don't sleep or live in there and move out when you want to rent it or pick up some check rental money by renting it out when out of season. It is just truly a vacation rental waiting for you to come and enjoy the area and your time here.

We can comfortably sleep 9 guest in beds 6 pairs and 3 singles and we don't allow blow up beds or sleeping on our sofas

This is why our home is immaculate and we want guest who will appreciate this and keep it this way.
