Other things to note
IMPORTANT- Please note that our base rate is for 5 people and that the rate increases $15 per night per each additional Guest above 5 up to 10 total Guests or up to an additional $75 per night. This allows us to offer a more reasonable rate for smaller parties.
DOG- While we do allow ONE dog, it must be 50 pounds or less and at least 2 years old. We require the completion of our Dog Form which includes uploading a Vet Health Certificate confirming the dog's breed, age, weight, and that its vaccinations are current along with a photo of the dog. Note that there is a pet fee of $35/night per stay that will be charged at the time of booking. Finally, we reserve the right to restrict certain breeds.
We have a terrific community and great neighbors, some of whom live here full time. Please use your upmost discretion to be respectful of them and their properties. Dogs should not wander freely onto other properties. Most of us have dogs and are dog lovers, but the liability and unpredictable consequences of roaming animals make this unacceptable.
Renters, their guests, and animals do not have permission to be on any property other than ours.
Neighbors have complained of lights being left on all night or for excessive periods of time, which disrupts the beautiful night sky so please be respectful of this.
We offer Internet allowing speeds that will keep all guests connected and happy!
Please note that while access to the cabin is generally easy on ALL paved roads, the driveway to the cabin is steep but is fully paved. 4-Wheel Drive is NOT necessary.
In regard to our bunk room, please follow all the guidelines below if you are planning on utilizing the upper bunk bed.
• Keep bunk bed placed in the corners of the room so that there are walls on two sides. DO NOT MOVE BUNK BED from its position.

• Instruct all children that bunk beds are not to be roughhoused on at any time.
• If any are present, please remove dangerous objects from around the bed.
• Never hang belts, scarves or ropes from the bunkbed, as these items could strangle a child.
