Guest access

Other things to note
WATER:
Our house is located on a well, providing guests with a rare and authentic experience. While the well contributes to the natural beauty and self-sustainability of our location, we want to transparently share that guests may occasionally encounter a faint sulfuric smell from the water and a slight tint due to its mineral-rich nature. Rest assured, this is a common characteristic of well water and is completely harmless. We have taken every measure to ensure the water is safe and clean for your use, and the occasional natural scent is a testament to the purity of our water source.
BASEMENT STAIRS:
When walking down the stairs leading to the basement, the ceiling height drastically decreases toward the bottom of the staircase. Anyone over the height of 5'8", in particular, should exercise caution when moving to/from the basement. This is only something to keep in mind for the stairs, as the ceiling height in the basement itself is a lot higher and not a safety hazard.
