Guests must collect & prepare this for themselves as needed. Guests can also access cut, dried and stacked hardwood fire wood for burning in the apartment woodstove at a rate of $15 per 2'X2'X15" stack or 1/8 of what is commonly referred to as a face cord of wood. Other things to note The accommodations are on the upper level & require climbing stairs. The large motorized retractable awning on the upper deck is susceptible to severe damage if left open during extremely high winds and/or rain. It can be left open during rain if you clear it of water occasionally or as needed by pushing up with a broom. The property is very protected from winds by the forest so it takes an extremely windy day to require closing it. Prevailing winds are from the west so typically do not require closing of the front large south facing windows or rear large entrance doors during rain however depending on direction of winds they must be monitored and should be closed at all times when leaving the apartment to prevent serious water damage. Opening skylights & Venetian blinds on the Skylights require a special rod to open. When opening Venetian blinds you must be careful to not over tighten them or you will damage them at considerable cost. Flying pests are for the most part fairly absent especially during the day in open areas on sunny days & of course on cooler days. They are usually not bad on the trails either especially on warm sunny days/cooler days. Black flies are seasonal usually for a short period in May and Deer fly populations are dependent on many factors but usually not too bad. Wearing a ball cap or something similar when deer flies are present keeps chances of bites to a minimum since they typically go for the highest point landing on the hat. We walk without any protection most times and I am a mosquito magnet very averse to applying poison to myself except in the most demanding of times such as dawn, dusk or in the thick bush. I usually just wear long clothes at those times rather than applying the poison. The pool shown in listing picture is typically erected late May to mid June and disassembled sometime during September.
