◆A FEW IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE◆
→ Maximum Capacity: The cabin sleeps up to 10 guests and allows for a maximum of 4 vehicles.
→ Mountain Roads: No steep roads here! The 2-mile drive to the cabin is smooth and easy to manage, even for larger vehicles.
→ Hot Tub Rules: Guests must be 18+ or supervised by an adult to use the hot tub. Please avoid alcohol near the hot tub and use at your own risk.
→ Safety Cameras: For your safety, outdoor security cameras are in place. Tampering with these devices is not permitted.
→ Rental Agreement: A signed rental agreement is required to confirm your reservation. This helps ensure a smooth and secure experience for both parties.
→ Wildlife: Our cabin is tucked away in the woods, offering a peaceful mountain escape surrounded by nature. Because of the natural setting, you may hear or see some local wildlife. The cabin has a roof with no attic, so sounds like rain or the occasional squirrel on the roof may be more noticeable. It's all part of the cozy, close-to-nature experience! We also perform monthly pest control, but due to the forest setting, insects may occasionally find their way inside, especially during certain seasons. This is a normal part of being in the mountains, and we appreciate your understanding as we balance comfort with the natural environment. While bear sightings are rare, they are a possibility in this area. If you do happen to see one, whether in the park or near the cabin, please enjoy it from a safe distance and do not feed it. For your safety and theirs, it’s best to admire wildlife without interaction..
→ Early and Late Checkouts: We do our best to accommodate requests but are dependent on our cleaning team’s schedule. Requests must be made at least 24 hours in advance. Unapproved late checkouts will be charged $50 per hour, rounded up to the next full hour.
→ No Open Flames or Candles: For the safety of all guests and our property, open flames of any kind, including candles, are strictly prohibited. A $100 fee will be charged if this rule is violated, plus the cost of any damages incurred.
→ No Parties: To maintain a peaceful environment for all guests and neighbors, parties and large gatherings are not permitted. Quiet hours begin at 10:00 PM—please keep noise to a minimum after this time.
