Other things to note:

Wildlife & Mountain Living
Our cabin is surrounded by nature, so you may encounter birds, butterflies, squirrels, deer, insects, or even the occasional bear. We provide regular pest control, but wildlife encounters are part of mountain life. Encounters are possible and are at your own risk; we are not liable for wildlife activity during your stay.

Bear Safety & Best Practices:
• No food left outside-avoid leaving trash, birdseed, or compost outdoors
• Bear-proof trash enclosure-please place garbage inside & close securely
• Lock your car doors-bears can and will try to enter unlocked vehicles
• Clean the grill after use-prevents smells that attract wildlife

Please read the House Rules before Booking to make sure this is the cabin for you.
