  Families may check in between 9:30am and 8:00pm. When possible, guests are asked to give staff a 24-hour notice prior to check-out. Families may check-out between 9:30 and 5:00pm on the day they leave to go home.
• Children: Both indoor and outdoor play-spaces are available for our young guests. However the house does not provide baby-sitting services, so parents are responsible for their children whenever they are in the house or on the grounds. No children under the age of 18 may be left unattended.
