Unique Construction and Amenities

The barn style house also has a dining and informal living room. Upstairs you'll find a bedroom area, full-sized bath, and television area. You'll want to note that the barn style house is located in a semi-rural area, so there are insects such as wasps and critters which you may come across despite all of the owner's efforts. If you are allergic or sensitive to wasps, it is recommended that you stay elsewhere. Your comfort is very important to owners.

Important Considerations for Guests

You'll also want to note that the staircase in the barn style house is very steep, so if you have trouble with stairs this is not the vacation rental for you. Also due to the rural nature and location of the barn style house, it is prone to bugs. The owners have exterminators come in regularly so bugs will die as soon as they make their way into the barn style house. The cleaners also make sure to dispose of any that make it in. That being said, you may notice bugs occasionally in the vacation rental that is just the nature of living and staying in a rural location and again if this is something that bothers you, this may not be the vacation rental that is best for you. The owners do however attempt to provide the most bug-free vacation stay possible.
