• Please be advised that our property is located on a dirt road, and the driveway is gravel and somewhat steep. Under normal conditions, the driveway is passable with a two-wheel-drive vehicle. However, during severe weather, such as heavy rain or snow, the driveway may become more challenging to navigate. We recommend exercising caution and considering weather conditions when planning your travel.

• Our property offers a private retreat with the closest neighbor over 150 yards away, ensuring complete privacy. You cannot see another house in any direction from the cabin or outdoor area. Despite the secluded setting, you’re just a 10-minute drive from town, where you’ll find a gas station, convenience store, grocery stores, shops, and restaurants.

• Due to our location in the mountains cell reception is spotty. You can make and receive calls if you enable WiFI calling on your phone.

• We do share the bottom portion of our driveway with one of our neighbors so we ask that you please park only at the end of the driveway near our house.

• Given our location in the ADKs, you may encounter wildlife. The hiking trail we have created on our property does follow a heard path so you may see deer or other wildlife along the trails. There WILL be bugs. Please pack bug spray and leave all screens in the house closed at all times to avoid allowing bugs indoors. As part of the Adirondack wilderness, you may encounter wildlife, including mice, moths, ants, flys, etc in or around the cabin despite our best efforts to keep them out!

• We are a family-friendly rental and we have children of our own whom absolutely love spending time at our property. That being said, children MUST be supervised at all times. Our hiking trail leads to a gorgeous overlook however, it is at the top of a ridge which could pose great danger to young children. There will also be uneven terrain throughout the property. The fire pit areas are also areas where children should have close supervision to avoid any serious injuries. **Children are NOT allowed in the loft. The ladder going up to the loft area poses a hazard to children.

• We do not have AC however, we do have ample windows in every room as well as either a ceiling fan or portable fan.

• We do have a Pack-N-Play, high chair, infant tub and hiking carrier available for use.

• Our cabin is dog-friendly. We do allow up to 2 well behaved dogs. Please send us a message ahead of booking and be sure to add your dog(s) to the reservation if you plan to bring your dog(s). There will be an additional $75 cleaning fee per dog added to your reservation. **Please no cats or other animals.
