A Few Helpful Notes (So There Are No Surprises)
Mountain Roads & Driveway
• Roads are winding and steep, and the driveway is steep (typical mountain setting).
• Flat parking is available at the base of driveway if preferred.
• Most front-wheel drive vehicles do fine; winter months may require 4WD or chains.
Cell Service & Wi-Fi
• Spotty cell service (especially AT&T) is common this close to the park.
• Strong, reliable Wi-Fi for streaming and messaging.
Bear Country Basics
• Lock car doors
• Never leave food outside
• Enjoy wildlife from a safe distance, they really do stop by!
Trip Insurance
• Due to weather and mountain conditions, trip insurance is strongly recommended.
• We’re unable to provide refunds for weather-related events.

Other things to note
🔎 Other Things to Know (Before You Pack Your Bags)
1️⃣ Check-In & Check-Out
Check-in is at 4 PM
Check-out is at 10 AM (we promise it comes too soon)
2️⃣ TV & Streaming
Enjoy Spectrum cable channels + smart TVs to stream your favorites.
3️⃣ Cell Service & Wi-Fi
AT&T users, heads up: cell signal is spotty inside the cabin (we're tucked right by the National Park).
But don’t worry—Wi-Fi is fast and strong for texting, streaming, and staying connected.
4️⃣ Hot Tub Prep
Professionally cleaned before and after every guest.
In extreme cold, the water will cool ~5°F per hour if left uncovered. Keep the lid on when not in use to stay cozy!
5️⃣ Mobility Notes
About 20 steps to the front door. Once inside, layout is easy to navigate.
6️⃣ No Smoking or Vaping Inside
We want everyone to enjoy a clean, fresh mountain retreat.
7️⃣ Nature Lives Here Too 🌿
This is a mountain cabin surrounded by trees—expect a few uninvited guests: bugs, leaves, pollen, and the occasional spider or mouse looking for warmth in winter.
Outdoor cushions may be damp after rain, and leaves or pollen may settle on the deck.
Our home is professionally cleaned and regularly treated for pests, but nature has a way of reminding us we’re in her backyard.
8️⃣ Mountain Driving & Winter Weather
Roads are paved and plowed, but winter storms may affect driving.
4WD or chains recommended in snowy conditions.
We highly recommend trip insurance to protect against weather-related cancellations or road closures.
9️⃣ Steep Driveway Alert
Most vehicles can handle it just fine.
If snow or frost is expected, or if you prefer not to drive up, feel free to park on the flat area at the base of the driveway and walk up.
🔟 Bear Country Guidelines 🐻
Bears are strong, smart, and have a sense of smell 7x better than a bloodhound.
LOCK your car doors.
Do not leave food or trash outside unattended—it’s basically a dinner bell.
Enjoy bear sightings from a safe distance. No selfies, please 😳.
1️⃣1 Rental Agreement
After booking, guests will be required to complete a short rental agreement for insurance, safety, and local compliance purposes. This includes providing the primary guest’s full legal name, contact information, permanent mailing address, and government-issued ID.
This requirement applies to all guests equally and helps us ensure a safe and well-maintained stay for everyone.
12.) Travel Insurance Recommended
We strongly encourage all guests to purchase travel insurance during the booking process. Travel insurance can help protect your investment in the event of illness, injury, severe weather, flight disruptions, family emergencies, or other unforeseen circumstances that may affect your travel plans.
Please note that all reservations are subject to the cancellation policy selected at the time of booking. We are unable to provide refunds, credits, or date changes outside of the terms of the applicable cancellation policy.
For this reason, travel insurance is highly recommended for every reservation.

Hi! I’m Amy. I’m a nurse practitioner and what I like to call an accidental host. I became a host while caring for my mother with Alzheimer's, when we decided to rent out our private mountain chalet. What began as a practical choice grew into a passion for restoring overlooked homes and turning them into welcoming retreats. I care deeply about thoughtful hospitality and creating spaces where people can rest, reconnect, and make memories.
