*Please Note: Rural Setting & Bugs*
We want to remind guests that our home is located in a beautiful rural area of Maine, which means you’ll be surrounded by nature — and that includes bugs. While we do professionally spray the property to help mitigate their presence, it’s still possible for bugs to make their way inside, especially when windows and doors are opened.
Please also note that insects can occasionally enter through air conditioning units or heat pumps.
We do our best to minimize this, but a few bugs may still find their way in — it’s part of the charm (and challenge!) of staying close to nature. Thank you for your understanding!
