Only guests included in the booking are permitted to enter the property. Only two vehicles are allowed and can be parked on the parking deck per stay. No street parking whatsoever. Cars parked on the street will be towed at the guest's expense. Violating this rule will be taken very seriously and could result in a $2000 fine. Kindly remove shoes inside the house. Please keep the patio furniture coverings attached to the patio furniture. The winds will blow the furniture coverings away if you detach them and a fee will be charged to the guest to replace these. No pets. We love our furry friends, however, we do not allow any pets due to acute allergy and health reasons. (We have cameras outside and will know if they are snuck in). A $500 fine will be incurred if unauthorized pets are brought. Failure to disclose an animal on property is grounds for cancellation. No third-party booking. Person booking must be a guest staying at the property. 5 guests max. Our county permit allows a maximum of 5 guests. Only the amount of guests listed on the reservation are allowed at the cabin at all times. There are outdoor security cameras to monitor this. Any violation of this rule will result in the host keeping your deposit and for you to leave immediately. We take the county’s short-term rental rules seriously and will enforce them with a Sheriff. Check-in is after 4 PM and check-out is by 11 AM. (Early check-ins and late check-outs are not possible since our team requires every minute to thoroughly clean the house and make sure nothing is missing for each guest.) Our neighbors are full-time residents and are wonderful people. Please be respectful and mindful of noise during your stay. Follow Hot Tub Rules posted next to the tub. (The hot tub is located on the front deck, tucked away below street level for privacy, as the back deck with views is unable to safely sustain the weight of a hot tub.) For fire safety reasons, do not start any fires outside of the designated areas (fireplace, fire pit, BBQ) Art and Decor: Our cabin has been lovingly and thoughtfully curated with decor and details from our personal collection. Please enjoy, but do not re-arrange the furniture, art, or decor. If there is something you love, please let us know! We will happily share the vendor/artist contact information with you! Illegal drugs and firearms are strictly prohibited. If guests are suspected of carrying and/or using illegal drugs or firearms of any kind, the authorities will be engaged, and guests will be asked to vacate immediately. Road and weather conditions do not warrant exceptions to the cancellation policy. To that end, we recommend that you consider adding travel insurance during your payment process when booking the trip. SLIP & FALL - This cabin is privately owned; hazardous conditions can occur, especially during the winter months. The owners or property managers are not responsible for any accidents, injuries, or illness that occur while on the premises. The hosts/owners are not responsible for the loss of personal belongings or valuables of the guest. By accepting this reservation, it is agreed that all guests are assuming the risk of any unforeseen harm arising from their use of the premises.

The home is equipped with security cameras outside, and with decibel level sensors inside and outside. We are committed to maintaining a peaceful environment for our guests and neighbors. During booking, we will send you a link to verify your details by uploading an ID, authorizing a refundable $350 security deposit, and agreeing to our rental terms. (We use API-connected software and ask that you authorize a credit card hold). This must be completed before check-in and within 24 hours of booking. If this is not completed your booking may be canceled. The deposit will be returned based on the following: a. No damage is done to the cabin or its contents, beyond normal wear and tear. b. All items on the property including furnishings, decorations, and accessories belonging to the cabin are not lost or damaged. An inventory check is conducted after every check-out. c. Used dishes, pots, and pans must be cleaned and properly put away. d. No linens are lost or damaged. e. No early check-in or late check-out without prior approval. f. All our House Rules and Airbnb policies are followed. Guest agrees to receive SMS text messages from the host relating to the reservation and stay. --- If anything does not meet your expectations, please let us know immediately. Your satisfaction is our top priority! --- Hot Tub: To keep the hot tub water sanitary, we carefully balance the water with chlorine.

The house is perfect when you compare to what you usually get in the vacation homes at this price point. Basically, you'll have everything you need in the house. Starting with the shampoo and all the way to a complementary wine and snacks. Decks are really nice. I enjoyed reading a book in the morning with a cup of coffee. They have a nice TV with all the apps you might need. Nice parking for 2 regular cars and an EV charger. Always make sure it works just in case. House is very clean and looks fresh. Also, it was super easy to get access to the house , check-in and check-out. They have a nice screen on the wall for all the information you might need. From the rules staying in the house all the way to the Wi-Fi password. Overall you can feel that the owner spent time thinking small details through so you don't have to be bothered by anything or wasting time looking for something. We spent 3 nights just to be out of town and spend some time alone and it was awesome.

Nikki has spent a great deal of time making the most of her cozy cabin. It is apparent that she thinks of the renters perspectives as she chooses decor, amenities, and the little extras that make a nice place particularly special. Would love to come back again some day.

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and it was honestly so beautiful. We enjoyed every moment of it, we even fell in love with the town. The views were absolutely stunning, and waking up to an amazing view in the master bedroom was such an amazing experience. We’d definitely like to be back in the future and stay in this lovely home again.

My partner and I booked Nikki and Gad's place for our tenth anniversary, and it was the perfect place to celebrate! The photos didn't even do it justice - our jaws literally dropped seeing the view and how cozy and nice the cabin was!! The record player with old records was a really nice touch too. We love to cook and had everything we needed stocked in the kitchen, which a lot of hosts don't always get right so we were really thankful for that! They were super responsive and understanding about any questions and even delivered some items that we needed. They also gave us some local recommendations that we checked out, but you could just stay in the cabin the entire time since it was so spacious. The car charger was great since our electric car was almost to 0% when we arrived and were able to charge up immediately and not worry about it! We would definitely book again and recommend to anyone who needs a romantic getaway :)
