Cancellation policy
Other things to note
LODGING AGREEMENT: The guest booking the property must digitally sign a lodging agreement immediately following the reservation. The most important terms of the agreement are included below, and the guest may cancel a booking penalty free within 24 hours. If the lodging agreement is not completed with 24 hours then the reservation will be cancelled. The agreement will be sent via text message, so please be sure your phone number is correct before booking.
AGE 25 OR OLDER TO BOOK: The guest booking the property must be 25 years of age or older. The guest who books must stay at the property–you may not book for others if you do not intend to stay at the property.
QUIET HOURS START AT 10 PM: Our property’s quiet hours of 10 pm to 6 am are required by county ordinance and enforced by local police. If the police respond to a noise complaint, every individual on the property may face a misdemeanor criminal charge and be subject to a fine by the county of $300. Failure to abide by the county noise ordinance will result in the immediate termination of the stay without refund.
Past noise complaints have always come from groups of 20-somethings. If you are booking for a group of people and you think your group may want to play loud music at any time then do not book this property or cancel your reservation if you have already booked. Find another place for your trip so you do not have your trip terminated early and without refund.
NOISE MONITORING AND SECURITY CAMERA: We use devices that measure volume levels throughout the property (like a smoke detector but for noise) and allow us to respond to noise nuisances before the police are called. The devices are triggered primarily by sustained periods of loud music, not things like loud talking or laughter (which is encouraged!). The devices do not record audio and are 100% privacy compliant. We also have a security camera that records the front door and driveway. This allows us to facilitate remote check in and monitor the property between guests.
ACCIDENT FORGIVENESS: Every stay is backed by our accident forgiveness program. Guests will not be held responsible for damage caused during their stay (up to a maximum of $1,500) if 1) the damage is accidental, and 2) the damage is reported as soon as possible, and by no later than the check out time.
POSSIBLE BACKGROUND CHECK: We reserve the right to use a third-party to verify the guest’s identity and check criminal databases to finalize the reservation. Complete terms regarding the guest verification are provided in the lodging agreement, and can be provided sooner upon request.
NO PETS: No exceptions, sorry. Please don’t ask whether we can allow your perfectly house-trained, hypoallergenic labradoodle to join because we can’t 🙂
DOG ALLERGY WARNING: While we do not allow pets, there have been dogs in this house before. Those with severe dog allergies may want to find a different place to stay.
NO RIVER ACCESS: Although the property sits atop a cliff overlooking the river, there is no easy access to the water. It is very difficult and unsafe to walk from the house down to the water.
BATHROOM ACCESS: There is only one full bathroom and it is located on the upper level between the two bedrooms there. The main floor has a small powder room near the kitchen.
MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR SMALL CHILDREN: Certain features of the house may pose a particular danger to small children, including the steep cliff and the stairs. No special efforts have been made to “childproof” this cabin.
LOFT WARNING AND WAIVER: From the second floor there is a built-in ladder to an additional half story space above. The ladder and loft area may pose a risk of falling, especially to small children, and we recommend guests do not use the loft (not pictured in any photos). Guests agree to hold Owner and Manager harmless for an accidents that occur while using the ladder and/or the loft space.
SNOW-INS: During the winter, four wheel drive, snow tires/chains, and a car with good clearance are HIGHLY recommended in the event of a snow storm or heavy rain, as there is a good chance that a significant snow storm could restrict access in and out of the house. You need to use good judgement as to whether to cancel a trip before it begins or leave the house early.
BUGS: This is a house in the woods–that means there are lots of bugs, especially in the summertime. Even if you are careful some of those bugs will find their way into the house. The best way to minimize the number of bugs inside is to keep doors and windows closed at all times. Please also carefully clean up the kitchen every night and securely package up all food.
NO SMOKING: Smoking is never allowed inside the house. You may smoke outside as long as you clean up after yourself. You may not litter cigarette butts on the deck, in the yard, or anywhere else–butts must go in the trash after they have cooled off.
SHEETS: At the end of your stay you will be asked to strip the sheets off the beds that were used and leave the sheets on top of the beds.
WOOD STOVE: You are encouraged to use the wood stoves as long as you do so carefully! Always keep the stove doors securely shut unless you are actively putting logs inside the stove. The stove can get very hot, so be sure to keep small children away whenever a fire is burning. We do not guarantee there will be firewood or fire starter at the cabin, so it is best to bring your own.
SEPTIC SYSTEM: This house has a septic system. Grease and oil must never be allowed down any of the sink drains. Feminine hygiene products must be thrown away in a trash can and not flushed down a toilet. Never flush solid trash down the toilet or into a sink drain.
NO FIREWORKS: Fireworks are not allowed.
NO FIREARMS: Guests may not bring firearms or ammunition inside the house.
NO ILLEGAL DRUGS: Guests may not possess or consume any illegal drugs on the property, including cannabis.

What Our Guests Are Saying
Mountain Mama’s house was INCREDIBLY clean, with everything we needed to enjoy our stay – cozy beds, plenty of towels, a stocked kitchen, a fire pit, and tea bags and coffee to brighten our mornings. It is in a neighborhood setting, a the host really prioritizes keeping it a peaceful spot so do not book if you are looking for a house for a ~fun~ (read: loud) weekend.

We chose this cabin for a “company retreat” of 3 just staff members, where we needed a peaceful place to think and focus without any distractions. We found it here. We all had our own bedrooms, the beds were comfy, the dining and living room were wide and roomy, with high ceilings and plenty of space and a gorgeous view. The kitchen was so well appointed – anything we needed was there. Even marshmallow sticks, although we brought our own. Be sure to bring your own firewood because a fire in the woods in the dead quiet is a blast. and Smores are delicious.
Definitely stay here!!

We had 2 adults, 2 teens, and one toddler that slept in the downstairs bed with us. We only have 1 bathroom/shower at home, so that wasn’t an issue for us. The house is amazing for hide and seek! 🙂
The listing mentions that you will go through another booking company (mountain mama). Even though they make that clear, it’s frustrating. I know airbnb has top tier security around their app & data. I have no idea what these little booking companies do to protect my data, including picture of my drivers license. I use airbnb because I like the app and it simplifies managing trips. I can use one app instead of dealing with multiple custom apps/websites. Forcing people to use a different website after booking is bad user experience.

tucked away in the woods for a private secluded get away. I went in the fall and the view of the foliage and river was perfect. The kitchen was spacious and had all the supplies needed to make a variety of meals. The place is great for a couple or a few close friends.

The house is well designed AND comfortable. It’s an open- living space, which makes it easy to connect whether in the kitchen, living or dining room. The master on the first floor is really spacious, and the two bedrooms on the top are super cute and perfectly sized. If we meet in this part of the country again, this home will be a great spot to stay!
