Guest accessYou'll have access to the full house, with the exception of the locked owner's closet in the Master bedroom. Check-in is contactless for your safety, convenience and privacy and access is via a keyless entry touchpad with your own personal code.
The driveway is large and provides plenty of parking space right in front of the house.
You will have access to 2 community pools, Stoney Creek public golf course, Wintergreen Resort spa and other amenities.
Additional notesThe house can sleep 10 + an infant, but this is best suited to families with children as it is based on two people sharing each full-size bed in the 4th bedroom. Adults-only groups will be more comfortable with up to 8 people.
The rear of the garden has a steep drop into a creek so we have installed a fence for your safety - please make sure your children are aware of the drop and do not go beyond the fence.
Two security cameras are installed at the front of the property facing away from the house. We have a single NoiseAware sensor in the dining room - NoiseAware is a smart home technology that is 100% privacy compliant - it does NOT record actual sounds or conversations, it simply monitors the noise level (measured in decibels) and would only really alert us if there was party-level noise (our house rules do not allow parties).
During Spring, Summer and Fall, our landscapers mow the lawn or pick up leaves every other Wednesday. They are only there for apx 30-45 minutes.
Guest interactionWe are available during your stay to answer questions and offer any recommendations for local attractions.
