"FORGOTTEN TREASURES" CHEST: Oops, a few essentials may have been forgotten, check here, we may have you covered!
Antique Miniature Treasure Chest , a Navy Oval box , or a Patriotic rectangular box located on top of the Dryer will be your check point . (the treasure box itself may change from season to season but the contents will remain items you may have forgotten!). After all with 4 sons, treasure hunting was a high priority on the game list! Everyone was a winner because of the fun it created. Enjoy hunting, if you have a forgotten item!

FRONT PORCH CUSHIONS are in the bin behind the porch swing. If you forget to put them away expect fuzzy white reminders of our local traveling kitty who finds them very cozy.

PRIVATE PATIO: COVER CUSHIONS after each use and especially at night, PLEASE ( evening and morning dew, as well as, quick rain storms pop up intermittently when you are away on those new adventures!)

COVERINGS for furniture for Private Patio can be STORED IN THE BIN UNDER THE WINDOW when using the Private Patio.
When you leave the property to return home , PLEASE, PLEASE, put cushions in the large bin behind the lounger and cover all furniture with the coverings provided, including the ice bin by the door and the covering keeper under the window.

NOTE: I usually fold the lemonade table stand and place it in the covering keeper before covering it.

The Yellow Cottage in the Woods is centrally located to down town and local universities in a quiet neighborhood just off the intersection of State Park Road & N.Pleasantburg Drive. We invite you to walk about our spacious 1 acre property in Greenville County which is surrounded with many mature trees and flowering plants and shrubs giving the feeling of country living although you are in a residential neighborhood. This space is well lit as described in the access entry note with solar lighting, dust to dawn lighting, and motion sensor lighting. The Grill Patio and Hot Tub Deck can be further brightened at night with the string of extra night lights by plugging them in the house wall outlet by the navy door & at the electrical outlets on the gray post on the Hot Tub Deck. We are happy to provide for you these extra special amenities featured under our covered decks namely our HOT TUB DECK and FRONT PORCH DECK with its swing and seating. We like to say at the Yellow Cottage in the Woods, "RAIN or SHINE the FRONT PORCH & HOT TUB are FINE ALL the TIME!" One need NEVER to be barred from great outdoor adventures because of rain in Greenville when staying at our Yellow Cottage in the Woods. I observed this summer, shortly after a rainstorm, while sitting in the front porch swing, an falcon perch on the iron gate in the front yard watching, waiting, and then suddenly swooping down with precise timing on its prey, an afternoon snack from our yard. Nature awaits your observation and adventures from these great spaces. Covered or not outdoor amenities can be brightened with extra lighting. Please help us by remembering to tun the light/s off at night as specified above after use. (And if you should forget... Just remember in the morning to tun them off! DUKE POWER & WE THANK YOU!)
