CABIN LAYOUT EXPLAINED (please read!!):
The kitchen + living area are located on the main level (middle level) of the cabin. The master bedroom (king bed) with jacuzzi and private bath are located on the upper level of the cabin. The second bedroom (king bed), and a shared bathroom are also upstairs. There are internal stairs going from the main level to the upper level. HOWEVER, the third bedroom (queen bed) and attached bath are located on the lowest level of the cabin. The washer and dryer are also incorporated into this space downstairs. NOTE: There are not internal stairs for the lowest level; you must go outside to access the lower level -- the lower level of the cabin is detached from the rest of the living space. All entrance doors on the property have the same lock code. (The downstairs level suite is a perfect space for anyone looking for a little extra privacy, but it may not be suitable for all families).
HIGHLY ACTIVE BEAR CABIN:
***Please take careful note: The presence of bears is common. While walking around corners on the property, please mindful, as bears are wild animals and could become startled. If you encounter a bear, PLEASE keep a safe distance and do not attempt to feed them, touch them, or approach them. We suggest that you keep your vehicle locked ALWAYS so that bears cannot intrude, as they commonly look for food.
ROAD CONDITION TO CABIN:
Please be aware that the cabin is located on a mountain. The roads to the cabin are steep, narrow and curvy. 4-wheel drive is encouraged. Exercise caution with decreased visibility during fog, rain, or snow. Depending on your vehicle, driving up and down the mountain may be very dangerous in snowy or icy conditions. We highly recommend that guests check in before dark due to mountain road conditions and unreliable GPS systems/cell phone service.
GUEST ACCESS:
There is an electronic keypad for guest convenience. Guests will be provided the code via the in-app messenger two hours prior to check in.
CHECK IN/OUT:
Check-in is at 4PM and check-out is at 10AM. While we try to go above and beyond to accommodate our guests, we cannot offer early check-ins or late departures. This helps ensure our cleaners can have everything deep cleaned and sanitized for all guests.
HOUSEKEEPING:
There is no daily housekeeping service. While linens and bath towels are included in the cabin, daily maid service is not included in the rental rate. We do not permit towels or linens to be taken from the cabin and a fee may be assessed if the cleaners note an item is missing. Before you leave the cabin, we kindly ask that you follow departure instructions provided prior to check out.
STORMS:
No refunds will be given for storms or other natural disasters. Mountain roads may be curvy and steep, and 4-wheel drive is highly recommended during the winter months. We do not refund due to road conditions.
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES:
Any damage to any items in the cabin including but not limited to couches, chairs, tables, TV’s, hot tub, beds, sheets, towels, pillows, etc., are the sole responsibility of the renter. Every item will be inspected before arrival and after departure. If a guest causes any damage, please notify the owners immediately. Incidental damages will be charged to the renter. It is our home. Please treat it as if it were your own!
Failure to comply with the above will result in non-return of security deposit and possible additional charges. Booking assigns your consent to all terms listed.
