Other things to note
* King size bed is located on the 2nd floor and there is not a bathroom on this level. Bathroom is located on 1st floor near the bedroom with queen size bed.
The cabin is located on a single lane winding road that meanders through the woods and runs along beautiful creeks. Please use caution with oncoming cars, there are a few blind curves. You may have to pull over into the grass to allow other cars to pass. Speed limit is 10 miles per hour on the winding part. There are some houses along the way with pets that lay in the road. Please use caution and watch out for animals!
In the winter the road tends to flood. There are two directions to access the property. When one direction floods you may have to enter and exit through the other direction. If both directions are predicted to flood your reservation may be cut short, delayed or cancelled. Host subscribes to the river level alerts and will be able to notify you of such occurrences. Purchasing travel insurance is highly recommended.
Cell phone usage - Not all cell phone carriers work in this area. Cell phone coverage may be spotty. There are two types of wifi at the house and a landline phone line. Guests are welcome to use the landline to call anywhere in the USA for free and you are free to give the phone number to important people that may need to reach you. Host will make sure guests have the wifi password before arriving so they may connect in case they have any issues entering the house. You may also press the Ring doorbell and host can unlock door for you.
WIFI - Wifi is not super fast. We have purchased the fastest wifi possible in the area, but it is only 25mbps. Take advantage of this to disconnect and unwind! The cabin is the perfect setting for relaxing!
Pests – you are in the middle of nature next to a river. Pests may get in especially if the doors are left open. Although we regularly have the house treated by a professional pest control company - flies, stink bugs, bees, mosquitos, spiders and lizards, etc., may sneak their way into the house. There also have been other critters seen outside on the property such as deer, raccoons, opossums, foxes, mice and snakes. Money will not be refunded if any natural critters are seen inside or outside on the property.
