Other things to note:
✶ Respect for the Neighborhood ✶
This peaceful streamside property sits within a quiet residential area of Ivywild. Please keep outdoor conversation and music at a considerate level at all times, especially after 10 PM. We welcome families and small groups seeking relaxation—not a party scene.
✶ Noise Monitoring Devices ✶
To help maintain a calm environment, privacy-safe noise monitors are installed. They measure sound levels only (no audio or video recording) and ensure community standards are met.
✶Creek Safety✶
The home backs directly onto a natural year-round stream. There is no lifeguard on duty. Children must be supervised whenever outdoors near the water. Do not climb rocks or cross the creek to the opposite bank, which is private property. Rocks and banks may be slick after rain or snow—enjoy the scenery safely.
✶ Firepit & Grill ✶
A propane grill and outdoor firepit are provided for guest use. Check local fire restrictions before lighting either. Use only as designed—no wood, charcoal, or lighter fluid. Always confirm flames and valves are fully off before leaving the area or going inside.
✶ Smoking ✶
Smoking or vaping is not allowed inside the home. Guests may smoke only outdoors on the back patio using the provided ashtray. Keep doors closed to maintain indoor air quality. A $250 deep-cleaning fee applies if evidence of indoor smoking is found.
✶ No Pets ✶
We’re unable to host pets at this property. Please choose one of our pet-friendly homes if you plan to travel with animals. (As always, VRBO policies for service animals apply.)

Enter from Hansen Lane beside the house to reach the driveway in front of the detached game-garage. Garage parking isn’t available, but the driveway accommodates up to three vehicles. Please use the back-door entrance off the patio as the primary entry.
✶ Rental Agreement & Permit ✶
Upon reservation confirmation, guests must complete a brief rental agreement outlining terms and conditions for use of the property. This mirrors the same terms agreed to on VRBO but requires signature as part of the city’s short-term-rental compliance. You can review a copy of the full agreement under House Rules.
