📝 The Fine Print (a.k.a. House Rules & Real Talk)
We want your stay to be amazing, and part of that means clear expectations:
👥 Max 10 guests (per county regulations)
🚭 No smoking or vaping indoors or on the deck
🐾 No pets (unless ADA-compliant service animals—please notify us)
🔥 No open flames indoors (candles/incense prohibited)
🎉 No parties or events
🕒 Late checkout fee: $100/hour (unless approved in advance)
👀 Security cameras are installed outside only for your safety
🚯 Please help us protect the septic system: flush toilet paper only
Yes, the floors are worn, and a DIY project or two may show its face. This is a cabin full of charm and heart, not a luxury hotel, and we think that’s what makes it perfect.
🛠️ Life can change quickly and Mechanical issues can happen - we respond quickly, but we can’t guarantee instant repairs or offer refunds for equipment failure (hot tub, jet tub, etc.). We recommend travel insurance just in case.
🛒 What We Provide
Starter amounts of essentials (TP, paper towels, hand soap, dish soap)
Basic spices & cooking supplies
🌌 Experience Country Living
Yes, there may be bugs. It’s part of being in the woods. We treat regularly, but bees, ants, spiders, and other country creatures may sneak in. Keeping windows/doors closed helps a lot.
There's no garbage pick up here so a pass for local trash drop-off is provided, slight inconvenience for the amazing stay at Apple Canyon Lake
💬 Our Promise
We’re a family who loves this home, and we hope you will too. If something isn’t right, just let us know, we’ll do our best to make it right.
