PET ALLERGY ALERT
Our cabin is a dog-friendly home. While our cleaning team is thorough, it`s impossible to remove every trace of pet hair. Please consider this if anyone in your group has severe pet allergies.

HOUSE RULES
1. No parties or events allowed.
2. Vape pens, smoke, incense, candles and illegal substances are not permitted in or around the cabin.

ROAD ACCESS
Familiarity with mountain driving is helpful here and throughout the Smokies. The last 100 yards is narrow — take it slow. Most vehicles manage it easily in fair weather; we recommend a 4x4 or AWD vehicle from Dec 15 to Feb 15, or any time snow or ice is forecast.
