~Columbia Historical State Park. It takes you back to 1853. Watch them make Candy Canes at Nelson's Columbia Candy Kitchen every weekend after Thanksgiving to the weekend before Christmas, eat at the many restaurants and shop in an authentic gold miners town!
~ Black Oak Casino offers family fun activities, such as bowling, a video arcade, and snacks for guests of all ages on the lower level. It's an easy short 15 minute drive through a lovely country road just off of the Sonora Pass Highway.
THINGS TO NOTE:
~ The Bathroom Heaters works but please do not be use them. It's old school, gets very hot to touch, and a Fire Hazard because the towel bar is located above it. The knob is taped in the upstairs bathroom. The towel bar is above the heater, and guests have left it on and scorched many towels. Please be aware of this and talk to children and guests to inform them not to turn on or touch the heater as it is very hot to touch. They would be burned if touched.
-~ All dishes need to be washed and put back in their correct cabinet. Please make sure butcher block knives are put back as it is a child friendly cabin.
~ Please do not leave any items in the refrigerator. It must be left empty except for the condiments on the side shelf. Please be courteous for the next guest. You arrived with a cleared out refrigerator. Please leave with a cleared out refrigerator.
~ Guests need to take their garbage back with them to dispose of. That includes wastebasket garbage and any garbage stored outside in the overflow can. Due to bears and other wildlife who are attracted to the smell of garbage, I elected not to sign up for local garbage services as it has become a neighborhood issue of cans full of trash scattered by bears in-between garbage pickups. You can opt out for an extra small fee that a local hauler charges. I will need advance notice at booking for this option. Another option is to dispose of your garbage at Pinecrest Transfer Station. It is located a few minutes from the cabin. Please check for days and times the transfer station is open.
~ Please don't move the furniture inside of the cabin or outside of the cabin.
~ In the event of a power outage, we have added battery-operated lights scattered throughout the cabin. They will work just like a regular light when you flip the switch on. I recommend you put your refrigerated item in the freezer.
~ We have CDC-guided cleaning processes that help ensure a safer stay. Items that can not be washed (sponges) are new for every visitor. Duvet covers, blankets, towels, sheets, rugs, and pillowcases are washed after each visit, and all items are wiped down. Bathrooms are thoroughly cleaned, and the whole cabin is mopped and vacuumed after each visit. I work with two local professional cleaners to assure high cleaning standards.
~There's a portable crib for infants upstairs. Please bring your own blankets for the crib.
Please feel free to discuss any concerns you may have regarding "My Things to Note" prior to your visit. We're always willing to work with our guests.
Our family truly appreciates each guest, and we truly hope you enjoy your stay at Sugar Bear Cabin!
