Getting Around:
The property is located off the road on a long gravel driveway. The property is located in the country and a car with all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive is highly recommended during the winter.

Pet Policy: We are dog friendly! We do allow dogs (no cats or other animals, sorry) with approval only; 1 per reservation. We ask that you take responsibility for your dog and pick up after them in the yard and keep them off furniture (beds included). The property is located in the country and your dog may come in contact with ticks (depending on the season). We advise that you treat them with a flea and tick medication prior to arrival and brush/check them after any outdoor excursion. Note: the property is not fenced in.
Local Wildlife: There are bear, coyote, deer, owls, bobcats, ticks, snakes and much other wildlife around so be prepared when hiking and in the yard. As we live in the country you should expect some small guests (ladybugs or stink bugs) that make their way in, they are totally harmless and usually die within a couple of days. We try our best to clean them up before your stay but at times there are a few dead ones left behind after a cleaning (sneaky) Ah country living!
NOTE: Cell Service: Cell service is spotty, you can normally get texts but calls are better made on the land line. iPhone users can use WIFI calling.
