Other things to note
As Squirrel House is situated in the middle of the forest, during summer you may find a single insect in the house even with doors and windows closed. We ask guests be respectful of the small lives and put them in a container we provide and gently take them outside. If you are afraid of insects, Squirrel House may not be a place for your stay.

On the plus side, you may encounter wildlife such as deer, tanuki, foxes, rabbits, and of course squirrels; additionally hawks flying overhead and owls at dusk.
