OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:

★The outdoor shower is not available in the winter due to the possibility of frozen pipes.
▻ There are Bugs in the mountains and you might find some unwelcome guests.
▻ We have regular pest control so it makes sense you might find critters that didn’t make it.
▻ The cabin is on a mountain well and the well pump requires power, if an outage occurs, water will stop flowing after the tank runs out, this happens rarely but is important to note.
★Cell service in the cabin, mountains, and local area can be spotty/weak.

★Check-in is at 4 pm and check-out is at 10 am. We cannot offer early check-ins or late departures. This is to allow our cleaning crew ample time to make sure your cabin is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before your stay. $100 fee every 30 minutes passed checkout will apply.
★Bears are Knotty, they know how to open car doors and will do so to look for food. They will cause damage to your vehicle and the cabin if doors/windows are left open OR unlocked. LOCK windows/car doors/trash receptacles. Do not leave food, coolers, or trash outside and clean the grill after use. Do not allow children to play unsupervised.

Do NOT twist or remove hot tub filter housing. The hot tub is not for unsupervised children. If the filter is removed objects can enter the pump. The hot tub will shut off and there will be a code identifying the pump is compromised. You will be billed for the technician and repair.
★TN homes are built for a moderate climate and although rare, TN can experience extremely cold/hot weather. During extremes, the HVAC system will likely maintain mid 60s (cold) and mid 70s (hot). Rest assured our cabin and major components are newly built/installed and we will address any issues promptly during your stay.
★Do not run a/c and fireplace simultaneously, the unit will freeze over.
★Always ensure that the shower curtains are positioned low enough to be inside the shower/tub at all times. Water spilling onto the floor will leak through the ceiling or floor into the crawl space. This simple step can prevent very costly damage. It may sound silly but unfortunately this is a common issue.
★Our hot tub is cleaned and sanitized in between each guest. Guests may request a mid-stay hot tub cleaning for $65.
★Upon booking guest is required to acknowledge that All Wheel Drive (AWD / 4x4) could be required to reach the cabin in snow/ice (possible in Oct-May).
