There are no other cameras on the inside of the home. Please report any damages to the home or furnishings as soon as they occur. For your safety, we discourage moving any furniture during your stay. The coffee table in front of the fireplace can be moved to open the sleeper sofa when the home has been reserved for 6 guests. Sofa is available for sleeping guests only and not intended for other use during your stay. A charge to your security deposit for $50.00 will be made to sanitize and clean the sofa if signs of opening and used are detected.
