NOVEMBER 2021 HOST UPDATE: We just did a kinda unexpected thing…we bought a different house and moved from our house of almost 20 years. It is more accurate to say, “are moving”; for after this long it Is a process. What this means for You: You may read past guest comments referring to our personal welcome, tour or our friendly dog or breakfast. I am busy updating the photos and captions as needed since our move, but it is a surprisingly time consuming task, plus I obviously can’t alter past guest comments about us, our welcome, the doggies, etc so in the spirit of full transparency, and accuracy regarding the listing, here is what you need to know to ensure you have an accurate understanding about your booking with no unexpected surprises. What has changed since the move: - we no longer personally greet you and give a tour; it Is now self check-in and the tour comes, along with the front door code, as a message on arrival day. - No more PS4, but large smart Roku TV with streaming services. - no more doggie barked greetings or tail wagging (or wanting a scape as you eat breakfast) - speaking of breakfast, it is still included yet is streamlined and simplified and fully self-serve on your schedule, be it hitting the road early or sleeping in and eating later in the day. - Downstairs game table has been replaced with an exercise bike. - fridge and pantry now have LOTS of room for guest food storage as you no longer compete for space with family food. - I am working on labeling kitchen cabinets with location of dishes, spices, etc for those who want to avail themselves of the opportunity to cook meals. The kitchen is well stocked. - our Extra long driveway is less crowded with personal vehicles gone. What Is UNchanged: - Your bedroom’s many features and benefits. - 24:7 beverage area both upstairs and down with lots of coffee & tea options. - rec room with ping pong and darts, microwave and mini-fridge - DVD and game closet with lots of options. DVD player is now downstairs with the new 53” Smart Roku TV and roomy sectional. Games can be played on the upstairs coffee table or large oak table in the kitchen. - the beautiful, safe neighborhood. While we are no longer living onsite, we are still in Fort Smith and only a message away. Providing a 5-star experience is as important as ever. Thanks for reading to guarantee accurate understanding about your reservation as we are busy transitioning us and the listing details.
