Other things to note
A Few Things to Know Before You Arrive:
Driveway Info
The driveway is a bit steep and bumpy—just a heads-up! Please avoid bringing low-clearance sports cars. AWD/4x4 can be helpful in snowy or icy conditions, but not usually needed.

WiFi & Cell Signal
We’ve got Starlink WiFi and but cell signal can sometimes be spotty. But hey, you’re in Shenandoah, so feel free to unplug and soak up the nature!

Water Notice
It’s a mountain thing—sometimes the tap water has a funny taste or smell. Totally safe, but feel free to bring your own drinking water if you're sensitive to it.

Before You Go
Please wash any used dishes by hand before check-out. We appreciate the help!

Bringing Your Pup?
We love hosting furry friends! Just please clean up after them and help keep the yard nice for the next guest.

Fire Pit
There’s a firepit for your use—but we don’t provide firewood (liability reasons). They’re easy to grab at a local store or gas station.

Hot Tub Tips
Please cover the hot tub when not in use
Please wiipe your feet before getting in—grit and pebbles can damage the system

Just So You Know:
The fireplaces are decorative only—please don’t try to light them

The jets in the bathtub are not functional

It's a remote escape cabin vibe, but we do have neighbors, you are alone in the mountain.

Being in the mountains, you may see bugs like flies, mosquitoes, ants, etc.—we’ve got sprays if needed, but it’s part of the nature experience

Important House Rules (No Exceptions):
No smoking, vaping, or marijuana use—anywhere on the property
Quiet hours are from 10PM to 7AM—let’s keep it peaceful for everyone
Please check the full House Rules section for more info
