Local activities include hiking/biking, floating, tubing, kayaking, fishing, swimming, white water rafting, skiing and sledding.

Notice:
The cabin is equipped with a professionally monitored security system which includes smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, motion detectors, and door and window sensors. The system also includes four security cameras on the exterior of the home that view the driveway, carport, yard, and entryway.

There is an Amazon Alexa Show located in the kitchen for guest use and SMART home feature control (thermostat, lighting, & ceiling fans). This device does have an embedded microphone and video camera (however we keep the camera disabled/covered). The microphone can also be disabled on the device if preferred (note this would also disable voice control of the property's SMART features).

Each night at 10 PM a siren will go off in town indicating that the curfew is in effect for the youngsters in our community. It's been a part of this small town for many years.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
