Entertainment

Three Fire TV-enabled televisions mean everyone can settle in wherever they land. The main level living room features a 42" screen, the lower level bedroom has a 52" screen, and the upper left bedroom has a 26" screen. Each TV comes with both a Fire TV remote and the original remote so nothing gets lost in translation. Streaming your favorites is easy with the in-unit WiFi from Xfinity.

Kitchen & Dining

The kitchen is stocked to handle everything from a quick morning coffee to a full holiday spread. You'll find a coffee maker, blender, crockpot, toaster, and mixer alongside a complete lineup of cookware including a stockpot, frying pan, saucepan, and baking pans. Dinnerware, glassware, and utensils are provided for all guests, plus wine glasses, a knife block, and a full set of grilling tools. One step down from the kitchen leads to the dining area - a natural flow for shared meals.

Technology

3 Fire TV smart televisions (26", 42", 52") - Xfinity WiFi with in-unit router

Laundry

In-unit washer and dryer available for your use throughout your stay.

Outdoor

Step out to the back deck and find a private hot tub waiting for you after a long day on the mountain. A fully working propane grill is available on the lower-level back deck. Propane refills are the guest's responsibility - though note the pilot button needs replacement, so plan accordingly. A back porch with a couple of steps leads down from the lower level, and two steps bring you up into the hot tub itself.

Community Amenities

As part of the Villages of Wisp HOA community, guests have access to a community dock located at 941 Marsh Hill Rd. Parking at the dock is limited, so please reach out to the host in advance if you plan to bring a boat or use the dock. Additional overflow parking for the property is also available at that same address in the labeled community lot.

Check-in is self-serve and simple - your lockbox is located to the left of the front door. The driveway is paved but steep, and four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive is strongly recommended, especially in winter months. Two cars can park on-site, with labeled community overflow parking available at 941 Marsh Hill Rd when needed. The host is available throughout your stay and happy to help with any questions.
