We want your stay to be amazing, and part of that means clear expectations:
👥 Max 10 guests (per county regulations)
🚭 No smoking or vaping indoors or on the deck
🐾 No pets (unless ADA-compliant service animals—please notify us)
🔥 No open flames indoors (candles/incense prohibited)

🚯 Please help us protect the septic system: flush toilet paper only
Yes, the floors are worn, and a DIY project or two may show its face. This is a cabin full of charm and heart, not a luxury hotel, and we think that’s what makes it perfect.
🛠️ Life can change quickly and Mechanical issues can happen - we respond quickly, but we can’t guarantee instant repairs or offer refunds for equipment failure (hot tub, jet tub, etc.). We recommend travel insurance just in case.
🛒 What We Provide
Starter amounts of essentials (TP, paper towels, hand soap, dish soap)
Basic spices & cooking supplies
🌌 Experience Country Living
Yes, there may be bugs. It’s part of being in the woods. We treat regularly, but bees, ants, spiders, and other country creatures may sneak in. Keeping windows/doors closed helps a lot.
There's no garbage pick up here so a pass for local trash drop-off is provided, slight inconvenience for the amazing stay at Apple Canyon Lake
💬 Our Promise
We’re a family who loves this home, and we hope you will too. If something isn’t right, just let us know, we’ll do our best to make it right.

10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
Apple Cub Cabin was perfect for our girlfriend weekend. The kitchen was well stocked and the dining room table was large enough for puzzling. We especially enjoyed the open floor layout that allowed us to visit while being engaged in different activities.

Communication with host was up and above expectation. We really enjoyed our stay. Hot tube was legit.
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2026
We stayed at this location for 3 nights and it had everything we needed plus so much more! So many things for the kids to do inside on a cold chilly day. The amenities were outstanding and the area was beautiful! There was definite wear and tear and the fireplace didn’t seem to work but that didn’t stop us from having a great time!
