For Your Information:
Comfort: All main living areas are equipped with air conditioning for your comfort. Please note that the two upstairs bedrooms in the cabin do not have AC units. However, the windows can be opened to enjoy the fresh mountain breeze, and temperatures typically drop significantly at night, making for cool and comfortable sleeping conditions. Every room in the cabin is equipped with heat to keep you warm and cozy during cooler weather.
Extras: We offer an RV electrical hookup for an additional fee. Early check-in is also available for an added charge, with at least 24 hours’ notice required to accommodate your request.
Please note: For groups greater than 12, a signed rental agreement and refundable deposit are required prior to check-in. This helps ensure the home is well cared for so all guests can enjoy it.
