1. We are In a quiet residential area on a dead end road. We do have neighbors. In the summer they will mow their lawns on the weekend. Sometimes I will have to mow after you arrive. It is very quiet and nice here.
2. Garbage pickup is Friday mornings as early as 6 AM.
3. Our residence is between the loft and the lake about 1/4 of the way to the lake. The loft is up the hill and you have great views of the lake, 330 yds. from the water front.
4. We do occasionally have small private gatherings in the back of our house. You cannot see this area from the loft, but you will see and hear the cars that park in front of our house. There is no reason to think that this will disturb your peaceful enjoyment of the property, especially if you know what is happening.
5. The Loft is over our barn and we will occasionally need to get into the lower level. We will make every effort not to disturb you and limit it to times you are gone if at all possible. Your privacy is very important to us and we will make every effort not to intrude on your time.
6. There are flowers on your deck and we may need to water them. If possible, we will do this while you are out for the day.
7. We are a non-smoking private residence and allow smoking on the Loft deck only.
8. We do not allow pets. We do however, have a Golden Retriever named Jupiter ~ "Jouppi". He is very protective but will warm up quickly.
9. We do NOT provide any kind of maid service, so please pick up and clean up after yourselves.
10. We do not have a hot tub.
11. There a microwave, stove top, coffee maker and toaster, but no oven.

My home is on the property just past the Loft and it shares the driveway.
As you round the bend on Hildebrandt Road, this is what you will see. The Loft is on the left
and my house is further past the Loft on the right side of this picture, but the left side of the road.

* Explanation of the Inukshuk ~
The mysterious stone figures known as inuksuit can be found throughout the circumpolar world. Inukshuk, the singular of inuksuit, means "in the likeness of a human" in the Inuit language. They are monuments made of unworked stones that are used by the Inuit for communication and survival. The traditional meaning of the inukshuk is "Someone was here" or "You are on the right path."
The Inuit make inuksuit in different forms for a variety of purposes: as navigation or directional aids, to mark a place of respect or memorial for a beloved person, or to indicate migration routes or places where fish can be found. Other similar stone structures were objects of veneration, signifying places of power or the abode of spirits. Although most inuksuit appear singly, sometimes they are arranged in sequences spanning great distances or are grouped to mark a specific place.
These sculptural forms are among the oldest and most important objects placed by humans upon the vast Arctic landscape and have become a familiar symbol of the Inuit and of their homeland. Inuit tradition forbids the destruction of inuksuit. An inukshuk (also known as inuksuk) is often venerated as symbolizing an ancestor who knew how to survive on the land in the traditional way. A familiar inukshuk is a welcome sight to a traveler on a featureless and forbidding landscape.
An inukshuk can be small or large, a single rock, several rocks balanced on each other, round boulders or flat. Built from whatever stones are at hand, each one is unique. The arrangement of stones indicates the purpose of the marker. The directions of arms or legs could indicate the direction of an open channel for navigation, or a valley for passage through the mountains. An inukshuk without arms, or with antlers affixed to it, would act as a marker for a cache of food.
An inukshuk in the form of a human being is called an inunnguaq. This type of structure forms the basis of the logo of the 2010 Winter Olympics designed by Vancouver artist Elena Rivera MacGregor. It is widely acknowledged that this design pays tribute to the inukshuk that stands at Vancouver's English Bay, which was created by artisan Alvin Kanak of Rankin Inlet, Northwest Territories. Friendship and the welcoming of the world are the meanings of both the English Bay structure and the 2010 Winter Olympics emblem.
