The staircase is not suitable for young children, and there are wide gaps between rails that a child could squeeze through. (Our older kids (7 and up) love the home, but please be aware of this before booking). You can alternatively walk to the hot tub from the path in front of the home if you wish to avoid the stairs. brWe do have a security camera (audio and visual) that faces front of the house down the path/stairs up house. brNo smoking of any kind allowed on the propertybrThe house is surrounded in woods.
