Other things to note
Important Notes:

1. The cabins are built on a knoll and there are some steep areas. Being sure-footed is necessary for walking between buildings and exploring the property.

2. The driveway is steep. All wheel drive vehicles are recommended in good weather and four-wheel drive in icy/snowy weather. Parking is also available at base of the Fox driveway if needed.

3. Children of all ages are very welcome but need adult supervision all times. Wide-spaced porch railings, some high elevations/steep areas, the pond, the hot tub, and gas log fireplace are potential hazards. Parents of young children need to be extra vigilant, especially for little ones (under 2 years old).

4. GPS may not provide accurate directions. Directions can be provided after your reservation is confirmed, but feel free to inquire before booking, if needed.

5. Fox Den now has wifi.
