The space
Welcome to Pudding Hill, your private retreat in the heart of nature. Our custom-designed A-Frame cabin offers a blend of luxury and rustic charm, perfect for couples, families, and friends.
Winter Access:
During winter, the driveway may be compacted with snow and ice. We highly recommend using a 4WD/AWD vehicle equipped with all-season or winter tires for safe access. In the event of heavy snowfall, you may need to park at the foot of the driveway and walk uphill. Please be aware that snowy conditions can create challenges beyond our control, and guests are responsible for planning accordingly to ensure a safe and comfortable arrival. By booking, you acknowledge and accept this disclaimer.

Guest access
You can access the home via key entry. Basement is not accessible to guests. The cabin and all 5 acres will be yours during your time there so go out and enjoy a hike in the woods.
1G fiber optic Wi-Fi internet access is provided, as well as a large screen Roku smart TV with access to Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ and more. Alexa is also available in the entertainment console.
Other things to note
The cabin sits on 5 acres of forested sloped grounds frequented by all forms of wildlife, including but not limited to raccoons, fox, deer, etc. Please avoid leaving food in your car and garbage around the property grounds.
The premise is equipped with two Blink floodlight cameras. One on the front deck facing the drive up to the cabin, and the other on the back deck facing the backwoods of the property. Cameras are used for security purposes when unoccupied, and for monitoring wildlife activity.
Firewood:
We always strive to maintain a healthy reserve of complimentary firewood at the property while balancing sustainability. We recommend bringing fire starters and paper to ensure you’re well-prepared to start a fire. If firewood is running low at the property, small bundles of wood and kindling can be purchased at the local Stewarts & Sunoco gas stations or the Tops supermarket in town. Additionally, you may find locals who sell bundles by the 'honor' system right off their property.
Pets:
*Pudding Hill is a dog-friendly cabin. All pets must be announced prior to the stay and the $100 fee per dog must be paid prior to the arrival. A maximum of 2 dogs are allowed. Due to allergies, cats and other animals are not permitted. All pets must be kept on property as neighbors dogs tend to patrol the private roads near their home. Any dangerous behavior on behalf of the pets towards our neighbors or their dogs can lead to a cancellation of the remainder of your stay without a refund.
*Please clean up after your pet both inside and outside of the cabin, including their paws upon entry of the cabin (ALL dog waste NEEDS to be picked up). Failure to do so will result in a $150 fine that will be strictly enforced. Never leave your pet(s) unattended at the cabin, or around the property. You are financially responsible for any damage done by your pet(s).
This is hunting country, so please do not be alarmed by the occasional rifle being shot from a distance. Hunting season is open during the fall/winter season.
