Important Notes
Age & Aroma: The cabin is in the woods and is over 120 years old. Because of this, it does have the scent of the 120 year old hand hewn beams. Many people enjoy the scent, but if you are sensitive to smells or have allergies, please do not book this property if that would bother you. There is absolutely no mold, etc but the beams do give off a very faint rustic “old cabin” wood aroma.
Critter Season: This is the time of the year that outside critters start trying to find places to sleep! Because of this we do have rodent poison around the cabin and under appliances/furniture. While we have not had any issues, there is always the chance that a critter sneaks in through an open door, etc. **Please make sure doors remain shut to avoid this.** Please also avoid any children or pets going under furniture or appliances.
Wasp Spray: We will have bottles of wasp spray on the front porch for summer months, although we haven’t seen many bees/wasps for some time.
Windows & AC: If you use the Central Air, please close all the windows. You may use the air conditioner or the small window upstairs but please do not try to open the bedroom windows in the upstairs bedrooms.
How to Reach Us: If you have any issues, questions, etc. please message in the app. If you call/text it may take much longer for our staff to respond. However, we will respond quickest in the app.
Damage Policy: Lastly, before each stay, we check that everything is in working order and there are no rips, tears, spills, stains, etc. on anything. Should something happen during your stay that damages something, we’d rather you notify us right away rather than us having to charge for damages that we were not told about. You are also encouraged to let us know if you see anything that is wrong upon checkin.
Complaint Policy: We will not tolerate complaints about any of the above if you decide to book this property. Please inspect the property upon arrival and if there is anything unsatisfactory, please notify us upon arrival. We can always have someone come out to fix anything that is unsatisfactory. Understand that we will not tolerate renters complaining after their stay when we could have made things right. Please do not expect a refund or cancellation of your stay if you do not notify us right away if anything is unsatisfactory. It is an old, charming property that deserves renters who will enjoy their time!
We truly appreciate you taking care of our little cabin—and we hope you enjoy your stay!

Summary: We loved the place! Very nice and cozy. Very clean, hosts were great, ran into no issues where we needed to contact them. It was all very well set up. The one thing I would say is that the extra toilet paper was in the kitchen instead of the bathroom. And that suddenly became a problem in the moment as we were using the bathroom. But we just moved the extras there, so crisis averted. But otherwise, everything else was great! Nothing to nitpick about. Would stay again!
