🚙 ACCESS / ROAD:
IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING TO ENSURE THIS PROPERTY FITS YOUR NEEDS
This is a true mountain property with authentic mountain roads and driveway. To get to the property, it requires driving on gravel roads with varying levels of elevation and incline. Once at the property, the private drive is also gravel, with a downward slope and a drop-off on one side in certain areas. While this is typical for non-commercialized cabins, it may feel unfamiliar to some guests. Please drive slowly and carefully. Our cleaning team, hot tub and house maintenance crews, and even large service vehicles (such as delivery trucks) access the property without issue. We recommend planning your arrival before dusk and following the specific directions we provide with check-in instructions to ensure that you avoid any impassable routes. 4WD or AWD may be required during times of inclement weather (i.e. snow and/or ice). Please be aware of weather forecasts and plan appropriately. PLEASE NOTE: We do not offer refunds or cancellations due to weather, road conditions, inability to drive or natural events. Be sure you are comfortable with these conditions before booking. For peace of mind, we recommend purchasing travel insurance.

⚠️ PLEASE NOTE
While Whispering Ridge is child-friendly, it is not childproofed. Families with young children should be aware that there are two staircases inside the home, and no baby gates, cabinet locks, or outlet covers are installed. The layout and design are best suited for older children, and we kindly ask that parents supervise little ones closely throughout the stay.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW:
Whispering Ridge is a mountain cabin surrounded by nature, which means you may encounter insects, rodents, and wildlife. The property is on a regular pest control plan and routine maintenance schedule, but due to its location, it’s impossible to fully control or prevent nature from occasionally finding its way indoors. To minimize this, please keep all doors and windows closed at all times. PLEASE NOTE: We do not offer refunds due to insects. As part of being in the mountains, it’s also possible to spot larger wildlife—including deer, wild turkeys, and occasionally black bears at a distance. For your safety and to avoid attracting animals, do not leave food or trash outside. Inside, we kindly ask that you clean up the kitchen each evening and securely store all food.

WIFI/CELL SERVICE:

The cabin is equipped with Starlink satellite internet, which provides strong and reliable service for most needs, including browsing and streaming. However, because it is satellite-based, speed and stability may occasionally vary depending on weather conditions or satellite positioning. There is generally cell service at the cabin, however it can be spotty in certain areas around the property. PLEASE NOTE: We cannot guarantee uninterrupted internet or cell service and are unable to provide refunds for outages or connectivity issues.

NO PARTIES OR EVENTS, NO OUTSIDE VISITORS, NO OVERNIGHT GUESTS.

PET POLICY: We allow up to three well-behaved dogs per stay with prior authorization and a $100 non-refundable pet fee per dog per stay. Each dog must be added to your reservation, and the pet fee for each dog must be paid at the time of reservation. We have the following rules for guests who are coming with a dog:

- Guests are liable for any damage caused by a dog, including excessive cleaning or replacement of furniture or rugs that have been damaged or destroyed.
- Dogs must use the bathroom outdoors. Indoor pee pads are not allowed. Guests are expected to clean up after their dog and are expected to bring their own supplies to do so, although we do provide poo bags.
- Dogs are not allowed on the furniture or counters.
- Dogs must never be left alone in the house.
- Our cabin is located in a wooded/forest area. We are not liable for any wildlife encounters or harm to a dog while staying at our property.

SMOKING:
Smoking, vaping, hookah, etc. is not allowed on the property--neither inside nor anywhere outside on the property. A $200.00/day penalty will be incurred if any sign of smoking is detected after the guest checks out.

RING VIDEO DOORBELL & SECURITY CAMERAS:
There are no recording devices inside the house, however, a Ring video doorbell is installed at the front door and main level porch door. Additionally, there are two outdoor security cameras—one facing the driveway/front door, and one above the basement door. The cameras are on and recording at all times. These devices are for the safety of our guests and property. Tampering with the doorbell or security cameras is a violation of the guest occupancy agreement and may result in immediate cancellation of the stay with no refund.
