Please don’t hesitate to send us a message or give us a call. • DO NOT flush anything other than toilet paper down the toilet. PLEASE throw all other products in the trash can. The plumbing is all septic. These systems cannot drain like city sewer and will easily clog if paper towels, baby wipes, feminine products, etc. get in there. • If you plan to enjoy an outdoor fire, you will need to bring your own firewood or collect wood from around the property. If there is wood on the property you are welcome to use it, however, we can’t guarantee that the pile will always be stocked. Please purchase firewood locally! • If you plan to utilize the indoor fireplace, we encourage guests to bring a manufactured fire log (such as Duraflame or Enviro-Log). Please only use manufactured logs in the fireplace and do not leave any fires unattended. • There is camera surveillance on the exterior of the property, facing the parking area and back doors for security purposes. Please do not tamper with these cameras. • Please note that there are narrow, steep and winding roads with gravel to access the property. A four-wheel, all-wheel, or front-wheel drive vehicle is recommended to get up and down the mountain and driveway. The driveway is steep and requires some speed to get out of. There is parking on site for two to three vehicles, as well as overflow parking at the bottom of the mountain for any motorcycles, trailers, etc that do not feel comfortable coming up the mountain. This overflow parking has signs marking it as “The Pines Parking.” The overflow parking is located 0.5 miles from the cabin. The Pines Road is not serviced with snow removal during the winter months. • You are in the woods away from it all. You may see bears, snakes, boars, mice, deer, spiders, insects and other exciting critters. We treat the cabin for pests quarterly to encourage these critters to stay outdoors. • Please note this cabin is in a heavily wooded and rural area and occasionally weather conditions can cause power outages that are out of our control. We will do everything we can to promptly fix these issues, however, we are not responsible for outages due to these natural occurrences. • Graham County does not offer trash pick up. We welcome guests to utilize the dump site daily that is just up the street. This helps avoid critters getting into the trash overnight. ★ POLICIES ★ • Check-in begins at 3 pm. Check-out is by 11 am.
