Other Details to Note

➞ For your convenience, we offer starter sets of paper towels, toilet paper, firewood, and coffee. Should you need more during your stay, local stores are just a short drive away. ➞ Our home is part of a townhouse association that maintains the exterior. They typically inform us of scheduled projects ahead of time, and we will always let you know about anything we are aware of. However, they may occasionally show up unannounced for various reasons. We wanted to give you a heads-up. ➞ Being out in the country, you may encounter critters. Our home is always clean, but these guys sneak in now and then. ➞ Your stay includes six amenity tags. According to Territory policy, each individual aged five and above must have their own tag. If your group has more than six individuals who are five years old or older, you will need to buy a daily pass from the Owners' Club for each additional person per day so they can also access amenities like the pools. ➞ No early check-in or late check-outs.

We had a super few nights at Phil’s townhouse! We were two adults and 3 kiddos and we had plenty of room. It was exactly as described, clean and beautifully decorated with super comfy beds! We had a blast in the pool at the owners club which was super easy to navigate. We will be back!

We stayed at Phil's and absolutely loved it. There are three floors that you can essentially treat as three difference spaces (albeit noise between the loft and main floor will leak).
