The cabinets, drawers, and closets hold most of your needs for a comfortable stay. Kitchen is stocked with dishes, bowls, cups, glasses, mugs, toaster, countertop ice maker, coffee maker, utensils, pots and pans, and a few more cooking essentials. A modest amount of regular coffee, filters, creamer, sugar is provided complimentarily for your first morning... along with a few waters and snacks. Grocery stores are nearby for everything else needed during your stay.
Outside Space: The outdoor space includes patio mat, picnic table, sun umbrella, small charcoal BBQ grill, fire pit, chairs for stargazing or fireside, large field for dogs to roam. It is a cool spot to relax. The front porch becomes an outdoor dining area in moments. I try to keep wood nearby for the fire pit. If you need more wood for the fire pit, feel free to gather any fallen limbs and branches you can find. At night, the fresh air and crackling fire brings whispered stories filled with youthful memories.
**I’ve included suggestions in the house manual (red notebook on site) for mini shower. It’s easy to clean up when you think of it like a bird bath. Use on/off toggle switch on the handheld shower nozzle between soaping and rinsing. I’m 6’1” and have always done it this way:).
Guest Access: You are encouraged to enjoy the grounds, explore the woods, wander the country roads.
Please know, I highly regard your privacy. I will not come out to the Airstream at any time during your stay. The only exception, of course, being to address an issue you report. At that time, I will schedule my visit with you.
*Note* My home is also on site and located toward the front of the property. The Airstream and my home share 5+ acres. You will pass it when entering and exiting. Please do not try to enter the house, carport, porch, pump house. Otherwise, roam as desired.
Other things to note: Technically, this Airstream can sleep 3-4 people. I do not recommend (4) four adults due to the true compactness of the camper.
A third bed (*small double size*) folds out by lowering the dinette table and repositioning cushions. Mattress topper, sheets, blanket, pillows for this bed are included with reservations of more than 2 people.
**Please message me with correct occupancy information to reserve the 3rd bed. This allows for it to be properly set up before your arrival.** A fee of $10/night applies for each person after 2 guests.
___
This is country life. The Airstream hideaway sits on 6 acres surrounded by woods, farmland, birds, deer, rabbits, foxes, and more. Instead of eliminating nature, we embrace awareness and knowledge for coexisting with insects, wildlife, critters, plants, etc. More details available in the house manual onsite.
For visitors who love walking: the three roads of this neighborhood are dead ends and have hills. Perimeters of agricultural fields can also be walked, if desired.
