Check-in is at 4pm Check-out at 10am 2.) We provide Spectrum cable channels as well as smart TVs to stream your favorite shows 3.) Spotty cellphone service inside cabin. Make note of this before booking. Wicked fast internet though, so can text throughout property. 4.) Hot tub is professionally cleaned before and after each guest 5.) Approx 20 steps to reach front door, but otherwise very easy mobility around space 6.) No smoking or vaping in the chalet 7.) We are surrounded by trees. While this is peaceful, it does mean you will encounter bugs, insects, spiders, leaves, pollen, small twigs. Pollen and leaves will settle on outdoor furniture and decking. After rain, outdoor cushions will be wet. During the colder months, small wildlife critters (such as mice) may attempt to reach warmth inside the chalet. Nature tries to make itself cozy. While the house is professionally cleaned, keep in mind the house is still a mountain cabin amongst nature and wildlife. Our property is professionally sprayed for bugs on a regular basis as part of our preventative maintenance to ensure a clean and comfortable stay. 8.) 4 wheel drive recommended during some winter months based on weather. Even though roads are plowed, there are times when driving may be dangerous during winter storms. 9.) Steep driveway. Normal vehicles can drive up driveway. Park at bottom flat parking area if driveway covered in dusting of snow or if snow is forecasted. 10.) Damage protection - The $40 charge listed as a "management fee" on your quote covers your purchase of $1500 of "all risk" damage protection coverage on the rental property. This protection is purchased in lieu of a cash damage deposit. Coverage details are spelled out in the rental agreement. 11.) High bear activity. These rascals are smart! Lock your car doors. Do not leave food outside unattended or bear will invite themselves over for dinner. Their sense of smell is 7x that of a bloodhound. Enjoy from a distance. Do not attempt to get closer. 12.) In extreme cold weather, the hot tub is designed to maintain a cozy temperature between 100°F and 104°F when the cover is on. However, when the cover is off, the water temperature will naturally drop 5 degrees per hour due to exposure to the cold air. This is completely normal and part of how hot tubs work. To keep the water warm for your enjoyment, we recommend limiting the time the cover is off when the tub is not in use HOUSE RULES: No parties or events No smoking Pets to be caged when unsupervised. Leashed when outside. Children welcome. Please note property is not baby/toddler/child proof. No fireworks Place trash in the bear-proof trash receptacle at end of drive $125 pet fee Keep cover on hot tub when not in use Supervise children while around/in hot tub Lock car doors (bears can open your car doors) Lock door of the chalet DO NOT FEED BEARS As part of our commitment to ensuring a safe and enjoyable stay for all our guests, we have implemented a rental agreement, which is a requirement from our homeowners insurance provider.

It was steps away from a beautiful trail in the smoky mountain national park. The dogs loved it. Our host Amy was great and extremely responsive. If I could leave 6 out of 5 stars I would. ##### Bianca P. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda S. Oct 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Beary Merry Time The cabin is exactly as pictured. We walked in to a beautifully placed table and impeccably clean house. As mentioned, the driveway can be tough, if able I recommend getting there in daylight to help. (You have to give it gas.) Amy was an amazing host! We did have to call her upon arrival and she advised there is a trick to the door. (Pull toward you while entering the code. It will hang up on occassion.) You will see BEARs!! They came around 8-9 am, and again around 4-6 pm. They greeted our party when we arrived, and we did have to wait them out. We were traveling with a dog, so we used two deck chairs across the top of the steps as a deterrent and to keep her up on the deck with us. This also helped warn us when a bear did come up on the deck while we were all inside. We made sure the doors were locked and watched it from inside at the kitchen table. Once it moved on, we replaced the chairs on the steps and straightened up the small mess it made of the grill (going after the drippings). Be cautious loading your car in the morning. The bears did reappear while we were in the middle of loading up. (Be sure to use a buddy system with 1 person watching from high up.) 1000% considering returning to this exact cabin on our next trip out (spring). The drive was beautiful. The beds were fantastic. The cabin was perfect for our couples get-away. We loved the proximity to town and the trails, while still being remote. We cannot wait to return, and are alreadyvlooking for date ##### Amanda S.
