There's free on-site parking for several vehicles, right at the cabin.
Afternoon check-in and morning checkout. Exact times and your self-check-in details arrive with your booking confirmation.

House rules & policies
No fine-print surprises — here's how staying with us works, in plain language.
House rules
- No pets, and no smoking anywhere inside the cabin.
- Quiet hours from 10pm — sound carries a long way in the high country.
- Maximum overnight guests: 10. Day visitors are welcome; just give us a heads-up.
- No parties or events.
- The fire pit is for supervised, grown-up-tended fires only. Please fully extinguish before turning in.
- Treat the place like a friend's cabin — because that's what it is.
Cancellations, deposits & fees
The Stay total includes cleaning, charged once per booking. Mandated occupancy taxes and service fees are grouped separately, so the total shown before checkout is the total you review.
Direct bookings use a moderate cancellation policy: cancel at least five days before check-in for a full refund. If you cancel within five days of check-in or during the stay, you will be charged for one additional night and refunded 50% of the remaining unused nights.
Hospitable displays the policy again before payment and applies it to the reservation when checkout is completed. If you book through Airbnb, Airbnb's stated policy for the listing applies.
