About the host
Hosted by Jonie Higgins
This is a family affair for us! My husband and I and our Nephew and his wife set out on this adventure together. We are a family that loves life and sharing adventures with family and friends. We hope that our home will be a place where you can share with your family and friends. We pride ourselves on attention to detail and helping our guests in any way we can. We hope that you will visit our home and enjoy it as much as we all have over the years! Thank you, Jonie
Why they chose this property
During the summer months we can help you schedule canoe, kayak and bike rentals. You can easily walk to the park and town including bars and restaurants. Very safe area. 3 of the bedrooms are now equipped with window A/C units for your comfort! Due to Covid-19 no parties or gatherings all allowed.
Guest access
Guests will have access to the main home areas on the 1st and 2nd floors except for a small apartment off the side of the home which has it's own private entrance and is locked and blocked from the main home area. We ask that guests do not access the basement or 3rd floor of the home.
Other things to note
There is a large fenced in yard at the back of the home and small to medium dogs are welcome! We just ask that you let us know your furry friends will be with you so we are not surprised.
We have added a comfortable single pull out bed in the "Music Room" downstairs for the convenience of our guests that may have trouble with the stairs.
We ask that you please be respectful and honest about the number of quests that will be staying at the house, the co-hosts live right next door and will know if you book for 2 and have 8. We don't want to have to send an additional bill for extra guests or cleaning. Additional bedrooms does create a good bit of extra work. We will do our best to make sure you have a great stay and we just ask that you start the trip off with honesty.
