My goal is to offer you a sanitized, but very warm environment for your stay. Your enjoyment & comfort is important to me. My hope is that you will treat my property with the same respect that you would treat your own home. I honor & respect your privacy. If something comes up that warrants my entrance of the home during your stay (a repair/delivery or cleaning your ordered), you will be alerted in advance. Unless it is an emergency visit, it will be at your convenience. Things come up. Otherwise you will be left to your own for the entire stay unless I am needed. You will be given my personal contract number when you are issued the house/key code.
