Our team is available daily from 9 AM to 9 PM to assist with any questions or requests. You can easily reach us through the Vrbo app, by phone, or email. For any urgent issues after hours, we also offer a 24-hour emergency line, ensuring support at any time during your stay. Firepits: We’re happy to offer two cozy firepit options to enhance your stay. On the deck, you’ll find a propane firepit—we do our best to always keep a full propane tank available for guests. In the backyard, there’s a charming wood-burning firepit set on the grass, perfect for evenings under the stars. Please note, firewood is not provided for the wood-burning pit, so feel free to bring your own for a classic campfire experience. Family-Friendly: As parents of young children, we understand the challenges of traveling with little ones. We’ve thoughtfully equipped the home to be family-friendly, including a Pack ’n Play with crib sheets. There is ample space to set it up in either the downstairs bedroom, office, or the upstairs master bedroom. Kid-friendly cups, bowls, plates, and utensils are provided, along with books, toys, games, and puzzles for family fun. Pet-Friendly Accommodations: We welcome one dog (up to 60 lbs) for a fee of $150 per stay, which helps cover additional cleaning for pet hair. If any waste beyond hair (such as urine or feces) is found, an additional $200 cleaning fee will apply. Guests are responsible for cleaning up after their pet, and dogs should not be left unattended, as barking may disturb neighbors. Please let us know in advance if you’ll be traveling with a dog. Fence: The property is fully fenced; however, the fence is weathered and may have small gaps that smaller dogs could potentially slip through. There is a dog living at the property behind the back fence. A baby safety gate is available on the deck, which can be pulled across to provide a contained outdoor area for children and pets without access to the entire yard. Maintenance: Trash day is Tuesday. Our cleaning team will place the bins at the curb on Monday afternoon, so you won’t need to manage this during your stay. Landscaping service occurs every other Friday or Saturday, depending on weather. If you’d like an estimated arrival time during your stay, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to assist.

Great communication with the owner. The location for us worked well for visiting family. Comfy beds & furniture. Very nice decor & great shower! We had our dog with us so the fenced in backyard was ideal. FYI-the neighbor in the back has a rooster which for us was not an issue in the mornings since we were not there to lounge & sleep in the 3 days we were there. ##### Julie L. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dianne D. 30 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Home Away From Home We visited the area to spend Thanksgiving with our daughter and to assist her with a move. Brandyapple Retreat was perfect! We had 3-4 adults in the home and there was plenty of room to spend time together as well as to have our own private space. My husband and I both had to do some work remotely while there. My husband used the downstairs office space and I used the kitchen table, worked great for what we needed. We loved the gas fire pit to roast marshmellows and make s'mores. The deck was spacious and the fenced yard was great for pets. The neighborhood is quiet. The home is nicely furnished and the beds were comfortable. Having a washer & dryer was great as we were there for a week. The home was just renovated and all furnishings and appliances are new. I highly recommended Brandyapple Retreat. ##### Dianne D.
