Additional Info About the Home:
- We believe our home to be child and family-friendly, but the home is not child-proofed. Please do not leave children unattended.
- During Fall & Winter months, please note that there might be snow. We recommend having an AWD/4WD SUV with snow chains on hand during these times. We get more snow than you might think, so be sure to check the forecast! We do not offer refunds for weather-related issues, but we do offer Trip Insurance.
- Maintenance: Vendors (ex: hot tub maintenance) may stop by to conduct work on exterior spaces. They will not be allowed in the home without guests' prior permission. Also, an active pest control plan may include baits (e.g., ant bait) inside the house. They are usually placed where children and pets can't reach them, but please do not leave pets and children unattended.
- Cell service is limited in the area. We recommend utilizing the "WiFi Calling" feature at the cabin (or really unplug; it's up to you!). Map Apps will get you to the cabin without issue, and you will have all self-check-in instructions in advance.
