- If you have a larger group, we have a second cabin - SUM FUN dog-friendliest mountain cabin - fenced yard, mountain view cabin - available for rent about 20 minutes away; receive 10% off the second rental: ​https://www.vrbo.com/3320896?dateless=true

- PRIVATE DOG PARK: This cabin has its own "Blue Ridge Private Dog Park" directly across the street. Private: just you and your pups, no one else. The park is fully-fenced, with 0.84 acres of cleared, wooded land (no grass). *Please be mindful of potential ground hazards as the area is not groomed. You may encounter wildlife. Poop bags are provided. Please dispose of all waste and garbage in a secured trash bag and place in bear bin at the cabin. To use the dog park, there is an additional $50 for a stay of 3 nights or less or $139 for a stay of 4 nights or more.

- PEOPLE: Ensure all guests are accounted for within your reservation - maximum permitted is 6 people and 2 dogs. We DO NOT allow anyone who is not accounted for in the reservation onto the property, even if they do not plan to stay the night. Unannounced guests will result in a fee of $100 per guest, per night booked, AND you will need to vacate immediately, AND any resulting plumbing and septic costs shall be guest's responsibility.

- PETS: Up to 2 dogs welcome (no size or breed restrictions); $80 fee. No cats or other pets permitted. There is a $200 fee for bringing an unannounced dog or other pet. Ensure all waste is picked up. Due to local wildlife, please be mindful of your pets.

- SEPTIC/PLUMBING: ***This cabin is on a septic system*** Bathroom - Flush only toilet paper. Do not flush hygiene products, wipes (even if flushable), paper towels, or tissue, as this will cause a blockage and render all plumbing useless. ***Kitchen - Only liquids can go down the kitchen sink drain. Cooking oils, grease, fats, food debris, and coffee grounds must go into the trash. Use paper towels (provided) to absorb and wipe items clear. *** Drain screens - There are drain screens in the kitchen and bathrooms to prevent hair, food, and other items from going down the drains; these must be used at all times.***

- HOT TUB: The hot tub is emptied between every reservation, therefore the water may not be hot upon your arrival. The hot tub can reach temperatures up to 104°F. It will lose about 5°F per hour when the lid is off; weather conditions and use of the jets may expedite this cooling.

- TRASH: ***All trash and poop bags must be BAGGED and TIED in kitchen-sized 13 gallon bags, then placed in the outdoor bear-resistant trash bins. The trash company removes each bag individually; no dump truck. Trash is collected Tuesdays and Fridays.***

- FUTON: The futon in the game room is designed for convenience over comfort. If you are sensitive to mattresses, one of the traditional beds is recommended.

- FIREPLACE: To use the fireplace, ensure the flue is open by sliding the handle that's at the top center of the fireplace all the way to the right (smoke should go up the chimney). Fires must be attended at all times. Place all cold ashes in the metal bucket provided; do not dump outside. Do not use the air conditioning and fireplace at the same time. (Not permitted for use May through August).

- INSECTS: Because this is a rural area, we recommend turning off lights not directly in use as insects are prevalent and attracted to light, especially at night. **If you are sensitive to wildlife and insects, this listing may not be the right fit**

- LAWN CARE: Lawn maintenance is completed each month, weather permitting. You may see contractors working outside.

- OUTDOOR CUSHIONS: Outdoor cushions are located in the storage bench on the deck. To preserve them, please place cushions back into the storage bench when not in use.

- BOOKS: There may be books in the cabin's Take One, Leave One library which do not represent the opinions or values of your host. If you find something offensive or inappropriate, please tuck it away and let us know.

- FLAMMABLES: No candles and no fireworks permitted anywhere on the premises.
