Summer Magic: Experience the enchantment of summer nights with our firefly displays. These luminous creatures turn the surrounding landscape into a fairytale-like wonderland.
Security Cameras/Smart Devices: We have four security cameras outside. One views the carport and side door, one views the deck and backyard, one views the front porch, one views the back of the house. They will be on during your stay.
There are two Alexa Echo devices in the home at the moment: one is usually either in the master bedroom or in the pink bedroom, and one is usually in the kitchen window above the stove. I personally use them as timers (kitchen) and white noise machines for the toddler (bedroom). Guests are welcome to unplug them or press the mute button. The door under the carport has a smart lock and can be unlocked by keypad.
