If these few things are

can! Just check the availability calendar, check the dates you want to
reserve and then fill out the reservation form, or you can call us at

We accept
Visa & MasterCard. You can also pay with a personal check, as long
as we receive it a minimum of 14 days prior to your reservation date.
Either
payment method you choose, you must have a valid Visa or MasterCard
charge card to make your reservation. (no debit cards please)

We will call
you and verify your reservation date and get details of how you plan to
pay. We will then mail you a reservation confirmation form along with a
map of the area.
Do rates
vary from season to season?
No, rates are
the same all year round.
If
necessary, how do I cancel my reservation?
All you need
to do is call or email us at least 7 days prior to your reservation. If you don't cancel and we can't rent the cabin you will be charged full price.
Are
children allowed?
Of course!
We just ask that you supervise your children closely. The hot tub,
fireplace, and loft area can be dangerous to small children.
Are pets
allowed?
If you like
to travel with your dog or dogs, that’s fine. We just ask that your
dog(s) be leashed when outside and crated when left in the cabin alone.
We do have crates that you are welcome to use.
Is smoking
allowed?
Sorry, we ask
that you not smoke in the cabins. Smoking inside will ruin the natural
pine smell of the logs.

How do I

form and map. Remember,
