Bugs, Bears, Critters, and Wildlife:
● Please be aware that we perform regular pest control, but given the location of the cabin, you may see or encounter wildlife while in the home or neighborhood, including but not limited to: birds, bees, wasps, bats, mosquitoes, spiders, snakes, fireflies, butterflies, beetles, ladybugs, ants, skunks, raccoons, black bears, etc. Wildlife encounters may happen, and they are at your own risk. We are not liable to compensate you for these encounters during your stay. Bears are DANGEROUS. Please be responsible and deter unwanted wildlife by not leaving food, compost, or birdseed outside that may attract wildlife, insects, and other pests. Bug spray is recommended in warmer months. Please put garbage outside ONLY in the bear-proof enclosure on the front porch, and ensure it is closed. Lock car doors.

Bugs Inside Home:
● In certain seasons, the climate may cause an influx of bugs. Please make sure all doors and windows are closed when not in use. We perform regular pest maintenance, including bed bug preventative measures, but there is no perfect solution to keeping a mountain home completely bug-free.During fall/winter "ladybug" season, Asian beetles and stinkbugs are especially persistent in trying to sneak in. This does NOT mean the cabin has not been cleaned- it has! We provide a dustbuster so you can easily dispose of them.
