It’s important to note that the space is not childproof, and guests with small children should be aware that the stairs can be dangerous. There is a playpen with a bassinet provided for guests’ convenience, but its use is entirely at their own risk as we do not regularly check for defects, recalls, etc.. However, with plenty of space to spread out, comfortable amenities, and a convenient location, this is the perfect home away from home for your next trip.
Security Cameras:
We have security cameras at the front door, the garage facing the driveway and the patio entrance. These cameras are connected to the security alarm system and are actively monitored. Additionally, we have noise monitors which DO NOT record any audio but do measure the decibel level in the property. Finally, we utilize thermostat sensors in each room which only measure the rooms temperature to ensure a comfortable environment for our guests.
Wood Burning Stove:
Please note that the main level features a wood-burning stove, adding to the rustic ambiance of the cabin. However, it is important to mention that the stove is for decorative purposes only and should not be used for heating or cooking. Guests are advised to enjoy the warmth and charm it brings to the space without attempting to operate it.
Nature Advisory:
Given our cabin’s idyllic woodland location, guests should be aware that encounters with insects and wildlife are a natural part of the experience. The property is professionally treated for pests on a regular basis to minimize any inconveniences. While we take every precaution to create a comfortable environment, it’s essential to note that we cannot safeguard against pests and mother nature entirely. We encourage guests to embrace the beauty of nature while being mindful of the occasional presence of local insects and wildlife.
Winter Travel Advisory:
For guests planning to visit during winter or when snow is forecasted, we highly recommend having an AWD or 4WD vehicle. While our property is accessible year-round, winter weather conditions can vary, and having suitable transportation ensures a safe and enjoyable journey. Additionally, we recommend considering trip insurance to protect your travel plans in case of unforeseen circumstances.
River Access:
Our community offers deeded river access just a short drive from the house—a hidden gem perfect for a peaceful escape. The road leading there is steep, so we recommend using a vehicle with four-wheel drive. The path and riverfront are left in their natural state, with wild grasses and brush adding to the feeling of being truly off the beaten path. It’s an ideal spot to slow down, take in the sights and sounds of nature, and enjoy the beauty of the river. We’ve included a helpful video in our digital guidebook with directions to guide you on your way.
