- Interaction with Guests: As your hosts, we strive to provide a seamless and enjoyable experience during your stay at "Big Red." While guests have exclusive access to the entire property, including the Big Red Cottage and its surrounding grounds, we may stay on-site in the in-law suite above the barn/garage during periods of inclement weather or as needed to assist with guest requests. During the winter months, plowing and shoveling will be provided for any snow accumulation > 3-4 inches. During a storm/winter months, when the host may or may not be on-site to assist with shoveling and plowing, please do not park in front of the garage. Our goal is to ensure your stay is as comfortable and worry-free as possible. If we are on-site, we will remain respectful of your privacy and minimize any presence or interaction unless assistance is requested. Guests can still enjoy full and uninterrupted use of the Big Red Cottage and all its amenities during their stay. We’re always available to answer questions, provide local recommendations, or address any needs—just let us know! Whether we’re on-site or reachable remotely, we’re here to help make your stay truly memorable.
