★ Sanitation and Cleaning ★
We have a strong commitment to cleanliness and the safety of our guests. The cabin is professionally cleaned and sanitized between every guest stay.
★ Check-in & Check-out ★
Check-in is anytime after 4 PM. Early check-in requests will incur an additional fee. Our housekeeping team typically charges $50 for early check-in.
Check-out is anytime before 11 AM. No late check-out allowed. If you depart later than the specified check-out time, the minimum fee for failing to vacate is $100 for the first 15 minutes and $100 for each subsequent 15 minutes that the guest fails to vacate the property. Our housekeeping team runs on a tight schedule and needs an adequate amount of time to ensure the house is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized for the next guest.
★ Pets ★
Our cabin is pet friendly! The nonrefundable pet fee is $140 for up to 2 dogs, each 50 lbs or less. Unauthorized pets brought into the cabin will result in an additional fee of $200 per pet. Dogs must be house-trained and you must pick up after them. Dogs are not allowed on the furniture or beds. Dogs cannot be left unsupervised in the home under any circumstances unless kenneled. Dogs must always be on a leash when outside.
★ Smoking ★
No smoking or vaping is allowed indoors. An additional cleaning fee of $1,000 will be charged to remove the smell of smoke from the home.
★ Road to the Cabin ★
Getting to our cabin is easy as the majority of the road is paved. The final portion of the drive involves a few minutes on a gravel and dirt path. Although the road may appear narrow, it can fit 2 cars. Be sure to drive slowly as there will be other vacationers driving down the mountain. The road up to the cabin does have a moderate slope, but four-wheel drive is not required.
★ Parking ★
Parking is available for 2-3 cars in the driveway directly in front of the cabin.
★ Hot Tub ★
The hot tub will accommodate 4 people, and is only for guests 18 years old and above. Alcohol and glassware are not allowed near the hot tub. You are not allowed to use the hot tub if you have consumed alcohol or if you are pregnant. Use the hot tub at your own risk. Our housekeeper drains, cleans, and refills the hot tub before every stay; therefore, it may not be warm when you arrive. Be sure to set it to your desired temperature upon arrival. The temperature cannot be set above 104 degrees for health and environmental safety.
You will have access to the entire cabin and property with the exception of the locked owner's closet and the crawl space.
Check in with ease using the keyless entry electronic keypad on the front door. You will receive a unique door lock code prior to your arrival.
Guests must also upload their photo ID upon booking, which is required by our insurance company, and complete a check-in form.
Please Note: There is a motion activated, actively recording floodlight camera located on the front of the cabin facing towards the driveway for property safety. The camera does not impede on guest privacy and is there for security reasons only. If you touch or tamper with the camera, you will be asked to leave the property immediately.
For non-emergency issues, we do not send maintenance to the cabin during your stay, only after you depart to maintain your privacy.
The cabin is located in the wilderness, so there may be bugs, critters, and wildlife associated with this environment. Our cabin is protected by pest control. It's impossible for us to guarantee you will not see any bugs.
There have been bear sightings in the area. Remember they are wild animals and you should maintain a safe distance at all times. Please do not leave any food or trash outdoors. Keep doors locked and throw any trash in the bear-proof container.
Please keep in mind safety protocols and understand that at times inclement weather can cause things that are out of our control (such as short intermittent power outages, etc). Please check the weather prior to your trip departure and plan accordingly.

We highly recommend all guests purchase trip insurance with a CFAR (cancel for any reason) policy after booking to protect your money in the event of unexpected weather conditions, natural disasters, medical situations, or otherwise. We do not refund in these scenarios and we don't accept reservation alterations after 48 hours of booking.
