All bedrooms are private. Remember to knock before entering the bathroom or bedroom. Do not take anything that doesn’t belong to you without asking. If you are unsure ASK!
We ask that you keep phones and all devices out of sight around the children. We think it’s vital for their brain development to not have a lot of access to electronic devices of any kind.
Keep noise volume and a reasonable level and low after 8pm

I stayed here for 2 months and it was a great place to live! Jon and Anita are very welcoming and the kids are super energetic and social. Cash (the dog) is also adorable and loves to cuddle. The house is gorgeous, everything is very new and clean. I would definitely recommend staying here!!
How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
