Good to know

Questions guests ask before they book.

Anything we missed? Message us any time. We're Angela & Rich, and we answer fast.

  • How many people can stay?

    Up to 16 guests across 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms: a loft king suite with ensuite, a main-level king, a main-level room with two queens, a lower-level queen beside the bunks, and a bunk room with two full-over-full bunk beds. There are no sofa beds, so 16 is the maximum.

  • Are pets welcome?

    Yes. Up to 2 dogs, 20 pounds or less each, for a $125 pet fee per stay. Please include them in your booking; undisclosed pets are charged the $125 fee for the extra cleaning.

  • How does check-in work?

    Self check-in with a keypad after 4:00 PM; checkout is before 10:00 AM. You get the code and directions before arrival. Cell service can be spotty in the mountains, so download your check-in details before you drive up.

  • Can we check in early or check out late?

    When the calendar allows, yes: $25 per hour, up to 4 hours ($100 maximum). Message us the day before and we'll confirm.

  • What is your cancellation policy?

    Full refund if you cancel at least 30 days before check-in. 50% refund if you cancel between 30 and 7 days before check-in. No refund within 7 days of check-in.

  • Can we celebrate a birthday or anniversary?

    Absolutely. Birthdays, anniversaries and family reunions among your group are exactly what the house is for. Weddings and events are not permitted, and our insurance doesn't allow them.

  • Is smoking allowed?

    Not inside. Smoking and vaping are not allowed anywhere in the house; smoking or vaping indoors results in a $300 charge for odor removal. Smoking is permitted outdoors on the property.

  • Is the pickleball court really private?

    Yes. It's on the property, visible from the decks, and for our guests only. Paddles, balls and a cornhole set are provided.

  • What's in the game room?

    A kid-friendly pool table, foosball, air hockey, NBA Jam and Pac-Man arcade games, board games, a Smart TV and a stone fireplace.

  • Are there stairs?

    There are 4 steps up to the front door. Two bedrooms (a king, and a room with two queens) and a full bathroom are on the main floor, so part of your group can skip the stairs. The loft suite is up a flight and the bunk room and queen room are down a flight.

  • Is there firewood?

    Firewood is provided for the fire pit and fireplaces, though the supply varies with recent weather. Bring extra if you want guaranteed dry logs.

  • What's the parking situation?

    Free parking in the long driveway for up to 8 cars. The mountain roads are paved but winding, so allow a little extra time.

  • How many can sit down for dinner?

    The dining table seats ten, the breakfast bar seats two more, and the covered deck table seats eight, so the whole group can eat together outside.

  • Are there security cameras?

    Yes. Exterior cameras cover the driveway (so we can see deliveries) and the fire pit area. There are no cameras inside the home.

  • Is the cabin good for kids?

    Very. Bunk room next to the game room, a full tub near the bunks, high chair, travel crib, stair gates, fireplace guards, children's books, toys and tableware.

  • Any quirks we should know about?

    Ladybugs are common in mountain cabins in certain seasons. We remove them regularly, but a few may visit. Cell service is limited; wifi is not.

  • Do you allow longer stays?

    Yes, stays of 28 nights or more are welcome. There's a washer and dryer in the house and a laundromat nearby. Contact us for monthly rates.

  • Why book direct instead of Airbnb?

    Booking here skips the platform's service fee, so you pay less and we keep more. You still get secure payment, ID verification, a signed rental agreement and damage protection through our booking system, and you deal with us directly from the first message.
