Obey the "NO TRESPASSING" signs on the perimeter of the property at all times and do not travel beyond them for any reason. Make certain children and pets are supervised and do not wander onto private property.

2. Smoking is NOT allowed inside the cabin. Smoking is allowed outside only.

6. Only use appliances for their intended uses

7. Pets are permitted only with prior approval and the pet fee must be paid no later than with the final booking. Please refer to the Pet Addendum below.

8. Housekeeping: There is no daily housekeeping service. While linens and bath towels are included in the property, daily maid service is not included in the rental rate. We do not permit towels or linens to be taken from the property.

11. Water and Septic: The cabin is on a well and septic systems. The mineral content in the water is high. During a drought, the well water may have an odor. The septic system is very effective; however, it will clog up if improper material is flushed. DO NOT FLUSH anything other than toilet paper. No feminine products should be flushed at anytime. If it is found that feminine products have been flushed and clog the septic system, you could be charged damages to cover the cost of repairs.
