This 950 sq ft little gem boasts a modern flare to rustic living. 2 bedrooms, 1 1/2 bath. Knotty Pine throughout. Large deck with outdoor sitting and Propane BBQ. The cabin lights up nightly for outdoor entertaining. Fully stocked kitchen with everything you need to prepare meals.

Keith and I enjoy communicating with our guests. We are here for you by phone, text or email if you should have any questions before, during or after your stay.

**Additional Information about the cabin**

Guests will have access to the entire cabin except for two storage closet‘s located in the hall.

IF YOUR STAY IS CANCELLED DUE TO SEVERE WEATHER OR IF THE CABIN IS NOT ACCESSIBLE DUE TO HEAVY SNOW, WE WILL NOTIFY YOU 24 HOURS BEFORE CHECK IN TO RESCHEDULE YOUR STAY OR ISSUE YOU A REFUND.

Winter snow months we strongly encourage you to carry chains at all time. Chain requirements will be enforced in a snow storm. 4 wheel drive recommended

The week of Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday there is a 3-night minimum. New Year's, Memorial Day, and Labor Day there is a 3-night minimum. Holiday pricing starts at 249.00 a night.
PLEASE NOTE: We do not accommodate check-outs on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. If this information is overlooked before booking, we will ask you to please cancel on your end as this is notated in our listing.

Currently, Verizon and AT&T are the only cell carriers that works in that area. We encourage you to print instructions before you head up to the property. Also another way to get accurate directions to the cabin is the put the address in maps app on your phone before you start your trip. Once you lose reception in the city of Long Barn the map app will still be able to bring you right to the property without reception. If arriving at night our cabin is completely lit up with white Christmas lights to help show your way.

WIFI
Due to the rural location of our community Hughesnet satellite Internet is the only carrier available. We feel grateful that we can extend this service to you, as most cabins in our area do not have a line of sight for the satellite. Keep in mind that satellite Internet is good for surfing the Internet, emails and light social media. Streaming is not supported.

We do have a landline available at the cabin to utilize for local calls.

In the winter months, we have provided two shovels at the property. If you are at the property during a snowstorm you would utilize the shovel the driveway and deck for access. We will ensure that the cabin is accessible for you upon arrival. But maintaining the property is a guest responsibility.

Parking
We have a long paved driveway that you could park three average sized vehicles on. In the winter months if it is snowing you will be required to park on the driveway and not the road. This is to ensure that the snowplow vehicles are able to plow the road daily around 3 PM. This might require shoveling snow on driveway to access a parking spot. We want to make sure you don't receive a hefty ticket from city. We suggest during snowfall to park up towards the top of the driveway, this will help with getting out of the driveway during the winter/snow season.

The outdoor patio furniture is put away for the winter months. December- April the outdoor cushions, umbrella and fire pit chairs are available upon request as long as the guests return them to the basement for the winter months.

Please note WE DO NOT provide the following: laundry detergent, extra trash bags, firewood, propane for BBQ. There is a propane tank, however we do not monitor the propane usage.

Cozy and well-supplied
So many thoughtful touches! It was so easy to make ourselves at home her for a few days. The kitchen had all the dishes we could need to make meals and the keurig was handy. The bedrooms had plenty of warm blankets, and the trundle bed was perfect for a child. The high chair was SO handy. The bathroom had plenty of soft towels and nice soaps. All appliances and the heater worked well. The lights on the patio were a nice touch. Would definitely recommend to a friend!

Clean and cozy
We had a wonderful stay here. My sons are seven and eight years old, and we really enjoyed staying here while skiing in the area. The check-in process was easy, great amenities, and comfortable beds. The cabin was also nice and warm, which seems Like that should be a given, but a lot of places in this area can be drafty and don’t heat up properly. Would definitely stay here again. Five stars!
