Guests have private access to the entire 12.5-acre property, including private hiking trails, all outdoor spaces surrounding the villa, and direct access to the George Washington National Forest.
We believe in being hands-on with hospitality and hands-off with your space.
Check-in: You’ll enjoy keyless entry for convenience. We’ll send you a custom access code prior to arrival, along with helpful tips to get settled in.
Before You Arrive: We’ll send you a digital guidebook with everything you need to know, from how to light the wood stove to our favorite nearby hikes and restaurants. The guidebook will also be available on your TV welcome screen, by QR code.
Communication: We’re available via Airbnb messaging and personally answer each message. We’ll also share our direct number on your TV welcome screen so you can reach us anytime during your stay.
Check out: Unlike some rentals, we don’t give our guests a twelve step check out process (“wash the dishes, strip the beds, scrub the walls, feed the cat…”) We have a professional cleaning crew for that. So think of our cleaning fee as the “sleep in on checkout day” pass. Come, unwind, and leave the mop where it belongs: not in your hands.
A Note About Nature & Safety
We’re thrilled to share this wild and beautiful setting with you. Part of what makes Será so special is its deep connection to the outdoors. That said, nature comes with its own rules. The property includes rocks, trees, natural trails, and uneven terrain, and you may encounter wildlife such as insects, spiders, wasps, snakes, and other critters. Additionally, we allow dogs on property so you may encounter other guests’ dogs. Please be mindful, take your own precautions, and come prepared as you would for any outdoor experience. Guests assume full responsibility for their safety while exploring the land.
