IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS ABOUT THE CABIN:
*While the cabin has a certain level of privacy, the cabin is not secluded, and the privacy level varies greatly during different times of the year due to trees losing their leaves.
*Fenced area is the area shown on pictures and video, facing the fire pit and hot tub. That is the only area that is fenced, our almost 2 acres is not fenced.
*We are a 1960 cabin that has been fully renovated; however, there are some unique aspects to the cabin from parts of the floor that make noise to windows that are not centered in the middle of the walls.
*We are on well water (like most cabins in the area), so water will not always be crystal clear.
*This cabin is not suitable for anyone with allergies to dogs.
**Food/Wine/Wood used for images and video are not included with booking.
*We do not have any control over things that happen outside the property lines or the weather.
* This area is the native habitat for many creatures big and small. This includes bears, mice, snakes, and bugs. We do our best to keep the critters out by having pest control every few weeks, but every once in a while critters and crawlies do get in. You are solely responsible for any run-ins with wildlife.
*Cell service is often poor in the area, so print or save to your phone directions and other important cabin info before taking off on the adventure. Connect your mobile phone to Wi-Fi after you arrive.
*We LOVE to decorate for Christmas, fall and minor decor for other occasions. Keep in mind that small decor items may also change.
*** ALL guests should obtain trip insurance. We cannot change booking dates or provide refund when guests no longer want or can stay with us. Trip insurance protects your booking. WE CAN NOT TAKE THAT RESPONSABILTY. ***
Officer Hours: Monday through Monday from 8:00am through 8:00pm.
