EVERYTHING GOOD HERE AFTER HELENE. Enjoy the comfortable, spacious lower level bedroom, bath, and living area all to yourself. The host and her border collie reside upstairs. You will be walking distance to downtown Cashiers or a short 5 minute drive. There are two acres to wonder on with short trails and a creek. Outdoor seating and a fire pit is also available for your use. The space Bright and sunny bedroom with queen bed, down comforter and heavenly sheets (that is what they’re actually called!). The downstairs living room is all yours. Plenty of comfy chairs and a large screen smart TV with Netflix, Prime, and other apps. There is a microwave, toaster oven, Keurig coffee machine, and small fridge for your use. Coffee, tea, sugar, and honey will be provided. If you use half-and-half, you might want to stop at the store before you come. PETS: Dogs preferred. One is ideal, but let me know if you have more than one pet. There will be bowls for food and water, pet blankets, and towels. The entrance to your space is around the back of the house through the back door. From your parking space to the back door has a small gravel hill and steps…FYI. When you enter you’re in the host’s art studio. You are welcome to use the desk or sit in the comfy chair to read. Please refrain from painting. :) Barbara will not use this room while guest are present. The house sits on 2 1/2 acres. There are paths through the woods you are welcome to use. Please watch your step. Lastly, one very friendly border collie lives on the property. She is let out often. Be prepared to get a friendly greeting if you are out at the same time! Other things to note I allow pets FYI in case you are allergic. You will hear footsteps and dog from above. *BEING IN THE MOUNTAINS: Not unusual for electricity to go off especially during storms * keep car doors locked and no food in cars due to bears * From your parking spot to the back door is downhill, has gravel, and steps. Wildlife may pass through my yard…bears, deer, raccoons, fox, coyotes, bobcats. Dog Owners: I’d prefer if you are leaving your dog alone to have them in a kennel unless you are 100% certain they will be fine left in a strange place. Also know that if your pup barks for longer than 20-30 minutes when you leave, I will text you to come back. And if I hear any kind of scratching or loud sounds I will go down and check on your dog. (I hate to do this but I have had things happen with unhappy dogs who were left alone😞)
