Other Things to Note:
Safety:
The hallways are lit with photosensor nightlights, so you can see your way at night when moving throughout the house. Attached at each photosensor light is an emergency, battery pack powered light, that can be detached and automatically turns into a flashlight. There are multiple escape routes throughout the house that are listed at the bottom of this handout. There is a motion sensor light over the main driveway as well as in the backyard (this one can be turned off).
Below the sink is the fire extinguisher, as well as the first aid kit.
The firepit has a metal grate that at the end of use must be placed back on in order to avoid kicking off embers. There is a hose attached to the house that stretches and can easily reach the firepit area to douse the fire before putting the grate in place.
You will be given a code that only is available to you, it will be given to you 24 hours prior to your departure and is deleted and invalid within hours of checkout.
The Marsh View Ranch is a fantastic place for families and children of all ages. While it is family-friendly, it is not child-proof. Furniture is not bolted into the walls, and drawers and cabinets are not equipped with child safety fasteners or locks. Ultimately, you accept responsibility for the safety of all guests including children <18 years old.
Interaction with Guests:
We will do our best to offer any help you need, but we offer a self check-in that is 100% fully automated should that be what you prefer.
