About a quarter mile down our driveway are two parking spots on the left side designated for Pollinator Tiny Bungalow guests. Parking is always free.



Other Things to Note:

There is a tree near the Bungalow containing honey bees. If you are allergic to bees, you can visit when the weather is cold and the bees are less active. These bees have not attacked anyone but this is just for prevention purposes.





There is one senior, 15 year old, jack russel terrier mix named Peanut that lives within the preserve. He is on 24 hour security duty and likes to interact with guests. He is friendly with humans and knows how to charm for snacks. Big time! Peanut does not do well with other domestic animal companions; do not bring domestic anaimals.





No trash, liquid chemical fire starters, or cigarette butts are allowed in the firepit.





Keep your fires within the fire pit at all times and no higher than 2 feet.
