The High Catskill Mountains are home to many animals species including deer, coyotes, bears, bobcats, racoons, foxes, squirrels, chipmunks, etc. Regardless of how cute they might look, they're still wild animals. They should be treated with great caution, avoided and left alone. The Hudson Valley and surrounding areas also have insects that should be avoided – mosquitos, bees, wasps, and particularly ticks which can cause allergic reactions or carry serious diseases, like Lyme Disease. Be aware of how such diseases are transmitted, wear appropriate light-colored clothing when outside, and consider wearing clothing containing Permethrin and use insect repellent with DEET. Carefully inspect yourself and your children for ticks at the end of the day if you've been outside or hiking on the many trails in the area, know the symptoms of Lyme and other tick-borne illnesses and act accordingly. Consult a physician or specialist if anyone in your group has been bitten or stung and you think it’s appropriate. ABC Pest Control will come once a month to spray essential oils around the exterior of the cabin to keep insects under control. During your stay at Grandview Cabin, there may be individuals or small groups of workers who come from time to time to maintain the property. They mow lawn. In the winter, they plow the driveway and shovel snow and scatter salt on the pathways and thresholds to make them less slippery. From time to time, we may need the services of a professional plumber or electrician to fix a particular problem inside the house. We will work with guests to be sure that such visits are scheduled in advance and done with respect and with care for health concerns.
