- If you have a larger group, Shiny Apple Cabins has a second, riverside cabin - THE BEAR'S CREEK RETREAT - available for rental about 20 minutes away; receive 10% off the second rental: https://www.vrbo.com/3318995?unitId=3892120

- PEOPLE: Ensure all guests are accounted for within your reservation; we can accommodate up to 6 people. We DO NOT allow anyone that is not accounted for onto the property, even if they do not plan to stay the night. Unannounced guests will result in a $100 per guest, per night booked AND you will need to vacate immediately.

- PETS: Up to 4 dogs welcome (no size or breed restrictions). We may be able to accommodate additional dogs on a case-by-case basis, however you will need advance approval from host. There is a $200 fee for bringing an unannounced pet. Ensure all pet waste is picked up around the cabin and in the community. Failure to do so may result in additional fees to reimburse owners for fines. Due to local wildlife, please be mindful of your pets.

- SEPTIC/PLUMBING: ***This cabin is on a septic system ***Toilets - Flush only toilet paper. Do not flush hygiene products, wipes (even if flushable), paper towels, or tissue, as this will cause a blockage and render all plumbing useless .***Kitchen - Only liquids can go down the kitchen sink drain. Cooking oils, grease, fats, food debris, and coffee grounds must go into the trash. ***Drains - There are drain screens in the kitchen and bathrooms to prevent hair, food, and other items from going down the drains; these must be used at all times.***

- DRIVEWAY: We recommend backing into the driveway. ***Directly across from the driveway there are cement posts, rocks, and rebar to prevent accidental sliding into the adjacent drainage culvert*** Please be extremely mindful of this (and the fence) when pulling out of the driveway to avoid damage to vehicles.

- HOT TUB: The hot tub is emptied between every reservation, therefore the water may not be hot upon your arrival. The hot tub can reach temperatures up to 104°F. It will lose about 5°F per hour when the lid is off; weather conditions and use of the jets may expedite this cooling.

- TRASH: ***All trash and poops bags must be BAGGED and TIED in kitchen-sized 13 gallon bags, then placed in the outdoor bear-resistant trash bins. The trash company removes each bag individually; no dump truck. Trash is collected Tuesdays and Fridays.***

- PROPANE HEATER: Turn off the dining room propane heater when not in use.

- FUTON: The futon in the game room is designed for convenience over comfort. If you are sensitive to mattresses, one of the traditional beds is recommended.

- WATER: Because our well has an electric pump, water may be limited if the electricity is out. Although we do have reserve tanks, please conserve water during an electrical outage.

- FIREPLACE: To use the fireplace, ensure the flue is open by sliding the handle that's at the top center of the fireplace (smoke should go up the chimney). Fires must be attended at all times. Place all cold ashes in the metal bucket provided; do not dump outside. Do not use the air conditioning and fireplace at the same time. (Not permitted for use May-August)

- INSECTS: Because this is a rural area, we recommend turning off lights not directly in use as insects are prevalent and attracted to light, especially at night. **If you are sensitive to wildlife and insects, this listing may not be the right fit**

- LAWN CARE and PEST CONTROL: Lawn maintenance and pest control is completed each month, weather permitting. You may see contractors working outside.

- FLAMMABLES: No candles and no fireworks permitted anywhere on the premises.

- FENCED YARD: All of the fencing is reinforced with welded wire mesh, including under the stairs. But of course, be mindful if your pup is a little escape artist.

- BOOKS: There may be books in the cabin's Take One, Leave One libraries which do not represent the opinions or values of your host. If you find something offensive or inappropriate, please tuck it away and let us know.
