WILDLIFE AND PESTS: While we routinely treat our cabins, we are in the middle of the woods and it is likely that you may encounter insects or spiders during your stay. We cannot refund your reservation if you see insects or spiders during your stay. Many critters live in the woods. Do not approach or feed wildlife or leave food on decks or porches as it may invite unwanted guests.

LEFT BEHIND ITEMS: Personal items left in the cabin are not automatically returned. We will remove them and store them for 30 days. You will need to call and provide shipping information. Guests are responsible for any shipping charges to return items.
