Some facts about VT:

Our property is in the country. We are near to the woods, so spect to see deers, moose and black bears (if lucky) during the summer time. Do take personal precautions for mosquitoes and thicks in the spring and summer time, due that we are near to a body of water and active horse fields. Welcome to rural VT!

-If your dog is a chewer, this listing may not be a good fit for he/she.
-We don’t allowed pets in furniture or bed. If you cuddle with your dog in bed every night, this may not be a good fit for you.
-Be very cautious during hunting season to keep your pup close.
-At night/dusk be sure your dog is with you as we have coyotes and hawks, owls and bears in VT.

NO VISITORS: the number of people you book is and are the only people you will have to the property.

No LOUD MUSIC: this is our home and you should respect that.

Hot Tub & Sauna -Please shower before the use of either the hot tub or the sauna. This is VERY IMPORTANT!

Please eat at dinning room table or kitchen area only to avoid stains in furniture.

Cooking – Clean up the kitchen after you cook! Do the dishes and put it back exactly as you found it.

Heavy Equipment – Chainsaws, table saws, tractors and snowmobiles are all off limits.

Hunting – Keep in mind that in people hunt a lot in Vermont. Ask locally about hunting months usually around Thanksgiving and put on something orange is you plan on taking a walk.
Check out instructions:

Laundry/Beds - before you depart please strip the sheets and pillow cases and put them all into 1 pillow case and leave just outside of the laundry room downstairs.

-Don’t leave food behind or dirty dishes, we expect you to clean and pick up after yourself

-Leave used towels piled up in bathroom floor

-Respect the struggle of our cleaning crew and understand the cleaning lady needs to make a living as do we.

Trash - at the end of your stay please leave trash by bear proof dump. It is located at the end of the drive way behind the Barn structure.

Stoves - range and burners. Please double check they are off before you leave the house

Heat - Please leave the heat at 55 when you are out of the house or not using a room. Heat is expensive!!
When you are using the room feel free to turn up the heat to your desired temp (65-70) is fine especially if the wood stove is in operation you will find yourself plenty toasty. Keep in mind that the loft gets very hot.
The thermostat over the sink is the only one you will ever need!

Guests have access to their own private outdoor shower (I mean really awesome) and pond which is great for swimming! Please stay off all machinery and or motorcycles, snowmobiles.

The Glenwood Stove (kichen)

Please watch this little demo ben will provide if you text him!

Fireplaces: it’s essential you take a look up the chimney to be SURE the flue is fully open. Be very gentile with the device...Push it upwards lightly and set the teeth to the most open position. Do not attempt to do this by feeling around or you will knock the device off the tracks. If you don’t check to see it’s open the volunteer fire department will arrive via an automatic call to them from ADT as the room fills up with smoke. It’s not a fun way to spend your day so check carefully with the flashlight of your phone.

Grilling:

You have a nice grill in the porch. No need to bring much at all in the way of cooking/grilling we are well stocked! Be sure to turn off the gas both on the grill and at the propane tank after use. Let us know if you have used a tank so we can be sure to replace it for the next guests.

The pond: swim or ice skate at your own risk

At no time is there a lifeguard on duty, you (the renter) are responsible for the safe operation of the pond and are responsible for all persons in your group using the pond during your stay.

• My use of the pond facilities during my stay involves certain risks, including but not limited to:

1. The risk of injuries resulting from tripping or falling over obstacles in the pond area;

2.The risk of injuries resulting from unsupervised divers and swimmers and skaters colliding;

4. The risk of other injuries resulting from participating in any action in the pond or on the ice in winter.

5. I recognize and fully understand that the above list is not a complete or exhaustive list of all possible
risks; the list only provides examples of types of risks that I am assuming.
