PLEASE NOTE:
-This home is located in a quiet, family-friendly community. Guests are welcome to enjoy the property and amenities, but we ask that you remain respectful of the neighbors at all times. Parties and events are strictly prohibited and will result in immediate termination of the stay without refund along with penalties.
-Backyard renovations were recently completed in late March 2026, and grass seed has been planted. During this transition, outdoor areas may be soft or muddy, so we ask guests to use caution and help us protect the new lawn by avoiding the yard when possible while still enjoying the outdoor amenities! We expect the yard to be fully grown in around June 2026.
