*Products we use*

!!!Corona Virus Update!!!

Please read our blog post on cleaning for guests during the Corona virus pandemic.  We will do our best to use fragrance free products. Guests who need special consideration please let us know well in advance of your trip so we can do our best to keep you safe and comfortable.

(Does not indicate endorsement, listed for health and safety reasons in relation to allergies and sensitivities of guests)

We use unscented and fragrance free products almost exclusively. There are some exceptions, but we can, in most cases halt usage for guests, given enough advanced warning. We want to work with anyone who may want to stay here, so that your stay is comfortable and accommodated.

Personal Products
We provide the following scent free products for use by everyone who visits and stays here. (Please do not take “samples”)  We ask everyone who stays here, visits and works here to use unscented products, but we cannot enforce this policy. If you are particularly sensitive, let us know and we will be extra vigilant in the days preceding and during your visit. Unfortunately there are dis-ability conflicts when someone’s medicine is someone else’s allergy, and for privacy reasons, we cannot list all the personal hygiene products people might use.
