Other Things to Note:

We want to inform you that the majority of vacation homes in this area, including ours, do not have air conditioning. While it can get a bit warm during the midday hours for a few weeks in the summer, the temperature significantly cools down every night, usually dropping to the 50s and 60s. To keep the home cooler, we recommend opening windows and screen doors in the evenings to let in the fresh mountain air. We also provide fans to help circulate the cool breeze throughout the house. We suggest keeping the blinds closed during the day to ensure a comfortable temperature indoors when you return from your daily adventures.



Interaction with Guests:

We believe in giving our guests the privacy to enjoy the home on their own. Yet, we do have a team available 24/7 for any urgent needs.
