IMPORTANT NOTES TO GUESTS:
* REQUIREMENT: You must be verified by VRBO to rent this property and have positive reviews on your profile page by past hosts. A condition of renting this property is that all guests shall comply with all house rules and check-out instructions.

* INTERNET/WiFi: This is a mountain and forested area where Internet reception is suitable for standard use, but streaming on devices is extremely limited. A Verizon extender at the cabin enables Verizon devices with hotspot abilities to boost the Internet signal for Internet use on Bluetooth-enabled devices but keep in mind that WiFi bandwidth is limited and affected by weather conditions.

* WINTER MONTHS: Snow and ice may be present. Vehicles with 4-wheel drive, snow tires, or chains are best for navigating spots of ice that may be present in this mountain area and on our driveway, which is on an uphill slope with curves. Before guests arrive, we have the Diamond Peaks snow removal contractor blow snow off the driveway, but spots of ice may still be present and AWD may not be sufficient. Come prepared. Please inquire.

* BOATS/TRAILERS: Our driveway may be a challenge for large boats/trailers due to a curve in the driveway. Large boats can moor at Odell Lake or Crescent Lake, which are 10 minutes from the cabin. Smaller boats/trailers are fine. Please inquire.

* REQUIRED PERMITS: If you plan to visit recreation areas (lakes, trails, etc.) in Deschutes, Willamette, or Umpqua national forests, day-use parking permits (Sno-Park permits) may be required. Refer to the US Forest Service website for these national forests. If you have a federal "America the Beautiful senior pass," check to make sure it can be used at any recreation area you plan to visit.
