Before making a reservation, please read the Rules and Polices to make sure you are comfortable and aware of guest expectations. We want to make your trip as fantastic and memorable as possible! Here are just a few more things to keep in mind:
This home is located in the country and part of country living is dealing with the critters who naturally live there, and may on occasion find their way into the house. Though we treat the exterior to keep out pests including insects and mice, this is a reality of nature. Mice can enter homes through small holes, even in clean homes. They are attracted to food, water, and shelter, and can find nesting sites in cluttered spaces like attics, basements, or crawl spaces. Our space may not be a fit for those who are phobic of these and other wildlife.
One dog is allowed with pre-approval and a pet fee.
Check-In and Check-Out: Plan your travel on our listed 4PM arrival and 11AM departure times. Changes in times may be available for an additional fee if possible. Please give at least 24 hours notice for requests, last minute requests may not be possible as cleaning and service schedules are planned in advance.
The house is in an area with no cell service. Turn on Wifi Calling from your cell phone settings to make and receive phone calls. For a smooth arrival, make sure to write down arrival instructions before traveling so you have the address, door code, WiFi and contact information.
The home has a private well and septic. No sprinklers, kiddie pools or Slip N Slides, these can quickly drain a well leaving you with no water and can potentially burn up a water pump causing expensive damage.
There is dusk to dawn lighting on the property. Lights are on the Love Shack back door, cabin entry and one at the parking lot area which covers the walkway and garbage area.
Delaware County is a rural, mountainous area. October through April when snow and ice are likely, guests should have either winter tires or all season tires with adequate tread. AWD, FWD or 4WD vehicles are recommended. 2WD and RWD vehicles are generally not good vehicles for driving in snow or rain. Check the weather before arrival and plan your trip accordingly. If you are unfamiliar with driving in snow look for tips online at sources like AAA. The driveway is plowed, maintained and shoveled to the door. A shovel is provided for you so you can maintain a safe walkway during your stay.
