all garbage goes in the large garbage bin on the porch on the north side of the house Garbage pickup is very early Tuesday AM, so you must put it out Monday night.

Please leave all cardboard in the laundry room.
horses:
our horses are super friendly, and a lot of our guests prefer them so they can have their privacy If you do not want to feed the horses, just let us know in advance and we will arrange for someone to care for them once a day. The big black horse is a Percheron, his name is Thor, the brown horse is Stranger, and the grey is Strider. If you choose to feed them, they each get a scoop of feed (green Scooper) and a half a bale of hay 2X per day, once in the AM and once in the PM. Always feed them in their pecking order: Thor, Stranger and then Strider. The water buckets must be filled once daily. They love horse treats like carrots, apples, and old stale bread. The horse food, hay and carrots are in the barn.

we prefer that you remove your shoes upon entering There is a portable vacuum in the kitchen and a plug-in vacuum in the laundry room.
