You can contact us by phone, text, or through the Airbnb App anytime. One of us is nearly always available somewhere on the property but we try to give you complete privacy unless you need us. Our house sits back one half mile from the county road. The livestock can be noisy but we think it's quite peaceful here. You'll also have a lovely private balcony porch with a view. We are 20 minutes from campus and downtown. Be sure to allow yourself time to find parking when going downtown or to campus. We are 15 minutes from a grocery store and about that to the restaurants on the highway on the west side of town. Don't rely on getting a Lyft or Uber from here though as we are well off the beaten path on a windy, bumpy road. We think the drive is worth the location and the solitude:) Our place is not hard to find if you follow directions. Mapping apps send you to the neighbors. Note that our 1/2 mile long gravel driveway is on the west side of the road immediately south of the bridge and you cannot see house or buildings from the road. Our county road is winding and bumpy as is our gravel driveway but we feel it's worth the solitude and location:)
