This is a rural countryside property adjoining Lincoln National Forest wilderness. The property is enclosed with 7-foot elk fencing, which deters deer, elk, coyotes, and wolves. Guests should still expect the possible presence of raccoons, feral cats, foxes, skunks, ringtails, insects, and snakes, including rattlesnakes.

Four working pasture dogs roam the property and significantly reduce wildlife activity.

Guests who walk beyond the immediate area of their rental (30-foot perimeter) do so at their own risk. The host and Airbnb are not responsible for accidents or incidents occurring outside this area.
