4.3.21
Houses
All houses have been booked 4.1.21 - 4.8.21. The houses are not available for check-in until after 4pm, so please plan accordingly. You will be able to let yourself into the property via lockbox, the code to which will be provided on 4.1.21.
We've planned to provide items for dinner and groceries for the next day's breakfast, so there is no need to get supplies before or the day you arrive. All houses are set up as vacation rentals and are well-equipped. One thing to note, the houses do not have TVs in every room (usually just in living room and master bedroom), so bring your devices.
