OTHER DETAILS TO NOTE:

• This cabin is best suited for 6-7 adults max, couples, one family, or two families with small children for a total of 10 guests. 10 adults would likely not be comfortable due to sleeping arrangements in only three rooms and two bathrooms.

• Check in and check out times are firm.

• BYO firewood, charcoal, and matches.

• It's not uncommon to encounter wildlife in the mountains. There have been visits from deer, bear, and turkeys.

• Sneaking a cat in or an unauthorized dog or other pet will result in a $200 fee.

• Quiet hours are from 10pm-8am. Please respect this or you'll be asked to vacate.

• We do not offer refunds for weather related incidents. Please purchase travel insurance.

• The entrance road is curvy and steep but paved - like most mountain roads in the area - even our little Honda handles it like a champ! Drive it once and you'll realize it's a breeze. 4x4 is recommended in snowy weather.

• Because this is the mountains, there will be bugs and other creatures. The cabin is treated monthly by a local, professional pest control company but please note- it's not possible to make the space entirely pest free all the time.
