Other things to note
**Checkout:** We do NOT have an extensive checkout list! We believe the last morning of your stay should be stress-free. We simply ask that you treat our home as if it were your own.
**Security:** For your security, the property is equipped with exterior security cameras. These devices are located on the exterior of the home and do not monitor any interior spaces.
**Connectivity:** Due to our mountain location, cell reception is spotty. You can make and receive calls by enabling WiFi calling on your phone.
**Wildlife & Bugs:** You are in the Adirondack wilderness! You may encounter wildlife such as deer around the property. There WILL be bugs, so please pack bug spray and keep exterior doors and screens closed. You may also see mice, moths, or ants in or around the cabin despite our best efforts to prevent them.
**Family Items:** We have a Pack ‘n Play, high chair, infant tub, and hiking carrier available. Please message us to request these items when booking.
**Heating:** The cabin is heated by a wood stove (firewood provided), propane, and high efficiency mini splits.
**Driveway Conditions:** Guests visiting particularly in winter should be aware that the driveway is gravel and steep in sections; all-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, snow tires/ snow chains are recommended. A plow service maintains the driveway during winter storms, but guests may need to park at the bottom during heavy snowfall, icy or muddy conditions. We will not issue refunds related to weather or driveway conditions. Please ask any questions you have about access before booking.
