Other things to note
✴There are four steps leading up to both the front and back doors, but the living space is otherwise one level.

✴Please be mindful to turn off lights and lock doors and windows when leaving.

✴Please reuse bath towels more than once when possible. Towel hooks are located just outside the bathroom for your convenience.

✴Please clear out the refrigerator of your food items upon checkout. Checkout is at 12pm (noon) and no later, as we need ample time to thoroughly clean before our next guests arrive.

✴While The Jade Jackalope has been lovingly cared for, it is 60+ years old, so please keep in mind that it is not new construction.
