2. No smoking on the back deck or within 25 feet of the home. If you do smoke outdoors, please be respectful and dispose properly of any debris.

*The owners have a private, separate lower-level unit that they use occasionally on weekends.

They're quiet and they'll give you all the privacy you desire!
