Kennedy (JFK)brbrPLEASE NOTEbrAlthough the house is on one level, it has 2 steps up to the entrance and steps down to the main bedroom, so it may not be suitable for those who have difficulty with steps / stairs. brbrThis house is in a remote location, and internet is limited. Wi-Fi is available at the home, but within 15 minutes of the house, internet is not accessible. Please refer to the guidebook before reaching home to access entry information.brbrPlease note that while you can swim in the pond, there is natural wildlife around the pond, including a family of turtles. Swimming is at your own risk. brbrThis house is in a rural environment and surrounded by countryside, farms and wildlife. While it’s wonderful to observe the eagles, deer, bears, and adorable chipmunks, it can also mean you will hear coyotes and foxes at night, and encounter the less cute mice, flies, snakes, ants, bees and ticks. There is very little to be done about it, but by keeping doors closed or screened and food in its appropriate storage, unwelcome guests will stay outside where they belong. brbrWe look forward to welcoming you to Fern Pond!brA guidebook will be provided upon booking with a recommendations section for local eateries and places to visit during your stay.
