Other Things to Note:

‼️Important House & HOA Rules‼️



⚠️ Quiet hours are 9:00 pm - 6 am (HEAVILY enforced by the HOA). HOA/neighbor complaints result in a $500 fine; general noise violations are $150.

⚠️ No fireworks allowed; violations result in a $1000 fine and immediate eviction.

⚠️ No house parties.

⚠️ No extra guests without prior approval.

⚠️ No Smoking within 25 feet of the property. There is a $500 fine for smoking in the unit.

⚠️ Surfaces may be slippery when icy/wet. Walk, run, drive, and park at your own risk in any area on the property. Salt/Shovels are provided at the home for use throughout your stay. (Winter Season)

⚠️ Firewood is not provided year-round and will need to be purchased for your stay. Please visit the local Dollar General, Lowes, Walmart, or Tractor Supply to purchase a bundle for a cheap amount.

⚠️ We strive to provide propane for grills/fire pits but cannot guarantee it throughout your stay. If empty, please refill and provide a receipt for reimbursement (replace existing tanks, do not buy new).

⚠️ Given our rural setting, you may occasionally notice small insects. Comprehensive year-round pest control is in place. Please let us know if you have any concerns!

⚠️ Friendly Note: 🐻 Since our home is tucked in nature, you may spot a black bear in the area from time to time. No worries - they’re generally well-behaved and prefer to keep their distance from people. As long as food and trash are secured, they’ll simply wander by and continue on their way.

⚠️Winter Driving Note❄️: During winter months, 4WD/AWD is strongly recommended for safe and comfortable access, as mountain roads can be snowy or icy. We do our best to have the driveway plowed, but weather can change quickly and conditions may vary. If a vehicle becomes stuck, guests are responsible for arranging and covering any towing or assistance needed.

⚠️ Lost & Found Shipping Policy: If personal items are left behind, we’re happy to arrange return shipping 📦 — please note a $50 handling fee will apply for retrieval and coordination, separate from and in addition to all shipping and delivery costs 🚚 (shipping/delivery fees are not included in the $50 fee).

⚠️ Guests are responsible for properly bagging and disposing of all trash in the designated bear box or trash shed before checkout. A $5 per bag disposal fee may apply for any trash left behind inside the home or outside of the designated trash area. Please make sure all trash is securely tied and placed inside the bear box/trash shed to help prevent wildlife issues.

We totally get that guests look forward to relaxing in the hot tub, and we only perform this maintenance when absolutely necessary to ensure a clean and safe experience for everyone 💧👍.

📌For transparency, please know that our hot tub is professionally serviced after every reservation, and our tech team sends us time-stamped photos once the cleaning and servicing is completed — we keep those photos on file to confirm it’s been properly cleaned and ready for each new guest.
