Other Details to Note

Please keep in mind that we run on septic. Please do not flush ANYTHING but toilet paper. Because this home backs up to the forest, there is a chance that wildlife may wander into the yard, this included black bears. Please do not feed any animals or leave any trash outside as it will encourage them to visit.
