GETTING IN: Provided by either a LockBox or by meeting you at the door depending on what we set up with you in advance. CONFIRMING YOUR RESERVATION : When you book with us we will ask you for an exact person count of guests, number and type of cars coming, agreement with your house rules found in the “House Rules” section of the listing, and an appropriate sign off on pets if any or that you don’t have any if that cabin does not allow pets. We ask that all these items be agreed to in the message stream at booking. BEFORE YOU BOOK PLEASE READ : The OTHER THINGS TO NOTE section of our cabin description below.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE - PETS: Are only welcome if we discuss them in advance of booking your trip for our approval. We only allow Dogs. We need to know their BREED, WEIGHT (we allow typically under 50 pounds of total pet weight, but ask us if larger), AGE (No puppies) and the PET COUNT (generally we allow 1, but if they are very small maybe two). We have a PET FEE between $10/night and $35/night depending how big the pet is. We require agreement to use a PET CRATE if you ever leave them in the house. Pets are not allowed on or in beds or on furniture. We don't allow any pets when the cabin is at maximum human person count. THE CABIN IS IN THE MOUNTAINS: The driving approach to the cabin requires that you are comfortable driving up and down small gravel roads in the woods. Our cabin is on a county maintained gravel road that is fine for all cars Spring, Summer and Fall. During winter please come prepared for driving potentially on snowy roads and be certain you can take care of yourselves and car (snowchains, or AWD, or 4x4 are the best options). In the event of a winter storm during your stay we will instruct you on where your vehicles will be placed for your safety, this may involve a short walk from that location to the cabin door. We’ve had thousands of guests GUEST COUNT: We only permit the guest staying at the cabin on the cabin grounds or in the cabin. You can not change or add guests without notifying us for approval. We reserve the right to not approve an increasing guest count prior to the trip, and we reserve the right to stop your trip if your guest count increases without asking our permission first.

We do not provide other food of any type. WIFI - Your internet is Satellite based. That means it has a delay and is NOT ideal for 2 way or streaming communication such ZOOM or Netflix. During a storm the weather can cloud out the connection and your WiFi may degrade. We have had guests work just fine keeping up with email for example, but we point this out as there are no buried cables or fiber on our remote properties and weather can be an issue. So if its a huge requirement to stream video then we may not be the cabin for you.
