Conseils sur la ville

Que faut-il apporter?

Bring slip on shoes

While we offer slippers in the winter, be sure to bring some easy slip on shoes to wear over to the hot tub, and on the roof deck in the summer. We are in the woods, so there are pine needles, dirt, pine cones, and rocks on the ground.
Voyage avec des enfants

Pack 'n Play and Sound Machine

All 3 bedrooms can fit our provided pack 'n play, but if you need additional space, you could put it either in the large closet in the primary bedroom, or the laundry room downstairs, located across the hall from the downstairs bedroom. Keep in mind the large primary bedroom closet does not have any outlets, in case you're bringing a sound machine.
