IT’S IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT and WHAT’S EXPECTED OF YOU…
Cleanings:
Our cleaning and linen fee is there to allow our cleaning lady to fully disinfect, clean, do laundry, fold linens and get the bathrooms and kitchen to sparkle. We charge just a bit more these years for all the changes we have experienced from Covid, property tax hikes and STR taxes. Hope you understand.
Airbnb has an etiquette that is very different from hotels. YOU are expected to do A LOT and to return the cabin to how you found it.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
We have some rules you will be asked to sign on arrival.
-Please, take care of this cabin as you would your own home
-This is your space and your space only. Guest that are not in the reservation are are not allowed. The only people allowed to this listing are the ones you have added.
-Do not ask to bring more guests than the ones allowed in the listing
-Quiet time (no loud noises, no loud music and no outdoor conversations) starts at 10pm
-Please READ all our detailed rules before Booking!!!
Now that’s ALL out of the way…please DO enjoy this AWESOME cabin.
IMPORTANT.
If you are high maintenance skip this cabin. If you want total isolation also skip it. Our little cabin is not far off so you WILL see other folks and you will hear me out on the tractor mowing or clearing snow...You will for sure get an unsolicited visit from our black lab! Keep your voices down and let nature do the talking. We are in the farmhouse should you need us.
We are not a 500 room hotel owned by a corporation, this listing is family owned. If there is anything you need help with or is something not to your like please contact me. I live in the property and will be more than happy to come and help…Your reviews matter so please let us do our part and make your stay really enjoyable!
PETS
We love our animals at Bent Apple Farm, but we only allow dogs and we do charge a 150 dollar pet fee.
-Dogs must be crate trained and can not come to the property without.
-It is your responsibility to NEVER leave your pup unattended in the cabin even for trip to the grocery store.
-Please brush and trim your pet’s nails before coming to our cabin to avoid damaging our natural wood floors.
-If your dog is a chewer, this listing may not be a good fit for he/she.
-We don’t allowed pets in furniture or bed. If you cuddle with your dog in bed every night, this may not be a good fit for you.
-Be very cautious during hunting season to keep your pup close.
-At night/dusk be sure your dog is with you as we have coyotes and hawks, owls and bears in VT.
Thanks, B+L

WHAT TO BRING...
-Bring extra towels for the hot tub and sauna! We have you covered for regular bathroom towels.
-Pack warm! VT can get chilly even in the warm months when the sun goes down!
-Pack a good pair of boots.
-Keep in mind we clean out the kitchen of just about everything between guests so please bring spices and even cooking oils.
-Bring a bag of ice. We have a double drawer fridge in the cabin and a cooler by the hot tub you can use for any frozen items.
-bring at least two bundles of wood for the outside fire pit.
Sauna:
it's overlooking the pond just next to the cabin..
To turn on a Finlandia Sauna heater by Harvia, typically you need to locate the timer knob on the control panel and turn it past the "3" setting, then back to the large
"I" position to initiate the heating cycle; this will activate the heater for a set duration, usually around 60 minutes depending on your model. Be sure the other dial is set to MAX!
Hot tub:
Be absolutely sure to shower before and after you take a hot tub dip. If you get in with ANY lotion on your body the hot tub will be really nasty and we don't want that!! Showering after and being sure the cover is back on the tub is also important. These 110v units SHOULD NOT be turned down. The temp must stay set at 104 or the tub will not heat back up again during your stay.
Thanks for abiding by these simple rules. This makes for a great stay and keeps me from coming over during your vacation.
