🐾Our Dog-Friendly Approach
We love hosting well-behaved, house-trained dogs over 1 year old. Please send us a message with your dog’s age and breed upon booking so we can confirm suitability. A $100 pet fee per stay applies (unless otherwise noted) to help cover additional cleaning. Our official limit is 2 dogs, but let us know if you are bringing 3. We appreciate you ensuring your furry friend treats the cabin gently, as guests are responsible for any damages beyond normal wear. Please use the designated outdoor pet area and help keep the space clean by picking up after your dog. Some waste stations may be provided for your convenience. A friendly note for guests with allergies: While we thoroughly clean after every stay, please remember this is a dog-welcoming home. If you have severe dog allergies, this may not be the most comfortable environment for you.


📝Helpful Cabin Information
✔ We welcome guests 21 years of age and older to book and be the primary renter.
✔ Hot tub use is at your own risk. For guests 21+ only. No alcohol near the hot tub. Not recommended during pregnancy.
✔ To ensure everyone’s comfort and safety, please make sure your guest count matches your reservation. Unregistered guests may incur an additional fee ($25 per person per night) or require adjustments to the stay.
✔ To ensure a peaceful experience for everyone in the area, we kindly ask guests to observe quiet hours between 10 PM and 9 AM.
✔ Enjoy the cozy ambiance of the electric fireplace during the cooler months (it’s operational from October 1st through March 31st).
✔ For safety reasons and per local regulations, open flames (including candles and unauthorized outdoor fires) are not permitted. We appreciate your cooperation in preventing fire hazards. Misuse may result in a $250 fee plus any damage costs.
✔ Help us keep the wildlife wild and safe! Please store all food indoors and secure trash only within the provided bear-proof bins. Leaving food or trash outside can attract bears and other curious critters.
✔ Enjoy observing wildlife from a safe distance. For their safety and yours, please refrain from feeding or approaching any animals. Feeding bears, in particular, puts them and humans at risk and can have serious consequences for the bears.
✔ We provide a starter supply of towels, linens, shampoo, soap, and even toothbrushes just in case you forget yours!
✔ While we stock the basics, please remember to bring your favorite coffee, K-cups, condiments, dish sponges and food storage items like zip locks to make your stay perfect.

We enjoyed the cabin. It was quiet and tucked away, but close to restaurants and good walking trails. It was also close to the National park so we could enjoy hikes there. The cabin was clean and comfortable, and we enjoyed the hot tub. Communication with the host was great.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Nice cabin and everything was furnished. We just found that someone had not taken care of one of his fryers for cooking , but we just used his newer one. We would, just as a suggestion, a pitcher for tea be added to his collection. Our entire stay was great and bed slept fantastic!! Thanks Derek!
