**We will send you a confirmation email when the date you arrive is close, giving you a few details about things in the area and some side notes and guidelines about the property. Please check your inbox and junk mail, and make sure your email address is correct on the website because we send it to that email. If you do not get this email please let us know so there will not be a problem being able to check in. We know if you haven’t read it because you haven’t called us. We like to welcome guests with a few things about our listing before they arrive and would appreciate it if they read the few things we have to explain.
**Pets do not live on our property but when we do stay there, our dog comes with us. For those that have allergies it is a short haired dog (Italian greyhound), that has hardly any hair left because he is older. We always vacuum after every stay, so you should not see a lot of signs that our dog stays here when we are here.
**Please note: in winter weather (snow or ice) it may be difficult to get up our driveway, so please keep that in mind in the event that you book when it snows. The driveway will be plowed, but cars without 4 wheel drive or a lower gear may have trouble. Please try to get to the property earlier if snow is on its way.
**Watch out for poison ivy, after all, it is the woods.
**We have filtered well water which comes from the Hudson River, it is perfectly fine to drink and the best tasting water compared to most states. Better than bottled!
**There are usually some continental breakfast items on a shelf labeled for guests, as well as some items in the refrigerator. Coffee is on the left side of the refrigerator and sometimes eggs, English muffins, bread, bagels, butter, cream cheese, OJ and coffee creamer. We have a changing variety.
**Developed 3 acre lot (with road, buried electric and phone wire) for sale on the other side of the pond. Ask for details.
**There's new things happening on our property all the time. The property grounds have updated pictures but we don’t post the new construction being built.
