The owner and/or his wife (or other designee) will meet you on site for check-in & orientation at 4pm or anytime thereafter that you request. Checkout is at 10am. Sorry, but neither early check-in nor late check-out are possible when other families are departing on the  same day that you arrive or are arriving on the same day that you depart. If no one is coming or going when you checkout or checkin, then special arrangements can be made for a nominal fee.
