A Few Things to Know Before You Arrive

• Country Living & Nature
  This home is tucked away in the peaceful countryside—part of its charm is being close to nature. While we treat the exterior regularly, occasional visits from insects or mice are possible in rural areas, even in very clean homes. If you're highly sensitive or phobic to wildlife, this space may not be the best fit.

• Check-In & Check-Out
  Standard check-in is 4 PM, and check-out is 11 AM.
  Early arrivals or late departures may be possible for a fee with 24+ hours’ notice, depending on our cleaning schedule. Last-minute changes can’t always be accommodated.

• Cell Service & Arrival Prep
  Cell reception in the area can be limited. To stay connected, enable WiFi Calling on your phone. Be sure to save arrival instructions, door code, and WiFi info before traveling, as signal may be spotty en route.

• Neighbor Access
  Our neighbors have a right-of-way trail on the property to access their land. While it's used occasionally, you may see an ATV or snowmobile pass by depending on the season.

In the warmer months the nearby town of Stamford also has a community pool and two tennis courts - only 15 minutes away! Open July - Labor Day. Search for the Stamford NY Pool and Robinson Broadhurst Memorial Pool to get updated hours and dates.

Delaware County is a rural, mountainous area. October through April when snow and ice are likely, guests should have either winter tires or all season tires with adequate tread. AWD, FWD or 4WD vehicles are recommended. 2WD and RWD vehicles are generally not good vehicles for driving in snow or rain. Check the weather before arrival and plan your trip accordingly. If you are unfamiliar with driving in snow look for tips online at sources like AAA. The driveway is plowed, maintained and shoveled to the door. A shovel is provided for you so you can maintain a safe walkway during your stay.
