Other things to note-
THE TRAIN:
The house is tucked into the woods 200 yards behind the historic West Shore Railroad (est. 1885). This is an active freight train line-- although we consider the trains part of our character and charm, they can be heard from the house. (There is no published train schedule and they are sporadic; and sometimes they do run overnight). The bedrooms have white noise machines and earplugs for super sensitive ears!
KIDS:
We are child-friendly (we love kids and they love the farm!) but not child-proof. There are breakable items pretty much everywhere, sharp corners, and all that jazz. Toddlers on-the-move will need a little supervision.
BUGS:
The property is regularly serviced by an exterminator (they use an organic, non-toxic tick and mosquito repellent spray), but bugs are unfortunately just part of life out here in the country. We have insect repellent for your use in the Mudroom. Please check yourself, your clothing, and pets for ticks after playing outside.
LAWNMOWING/SNOW REMOVAL:
In the summer our lawn is mowed bi-weekly, our landscaping team may come and mow during your stay. In winter, when there are more than 4 inches of snowfall, our snow removal guys will plow the driveway. A snow shovel is in the Sun Room closet.
AIR MATTRESSES:
We can accommodate 8 guests, but 2 additional people may be added to your reservation depending on the circumstance. We have two twin air mattresses available. These additional guests may be subject to an additional fee-- please inquire.
