* All refunds from cancellations may be subject to a 4% credit card processing fee depending on how you booked the property, meaning some listing sites may have the fee and some may not
*We cannot do early check-ins or late check-outs from Memorial Day to New Years Day
*All late check-outs have to be pre-approved 24 hours in advance, or a $100 fine will be charged if you stay past check-out time without permission

The driveway and roads to the cabin are fully paved but can be steep in places, which is typical for mountain locations. Cell service is generally reliable, with AT&T and Verizon offering the strongest coverage.
The theater room doubles as a third sleeping area with a bunk bed, offering flexibility for families and groups. The hot tub is drained, cleaned, and refilled between each stay and may need a few hours to reach full temperature after refilling.
The cabin sits in a peaceful wooded area, and while it feels private, you may occasionally hear distant sounds from neighboring cabins. Basic cleaning supplies are provided if needed during your stay.
The outdoor fire pit is wood burning, and firewood can be purchased nearby. As with any mountain setting, local wildlife is common—please do not feed them or leave food outside.
If visiting in the winter months (November through February), a vehicle with good traction is recommended. For your safety, exterior security cameras monitor entry points only.
