We will provide the best contact number to reach us once you have booked. During your stay, you will receive the fastest response by calling (leave a message if no answer!), message through Airbnb or texting us as we are not monitoring emails 24/7. -damage protection Our guests are automatically protected by the Waivo damage protection program for up to $1500.

Check out procedures are posted at the property and will also be emailed the last day of your stay. NOTE: no late departures or early arrivals June 15-Sept 3 or Dec 15-Jan 3 due to the busyness of the seasons This is a cabin in the woods in the mountains: This is a cabin in a rural / semi-rural setting where weather, wildlife including pests, utility outages, road conditions and other impacts from being in a wilderness setting exist. Although we do regular pest control and have stellar cleaning service, even the newest homes can have uninvited pests. If you already know the site of one will ruin your stay, take this opportunity to rebook your vacation in a setting not surrounded by wilderness. Otherwise, you are accepting in this agreement that you understand that occasional wildlife and insects not ordinarily seen in other settings may be on the property. Guests are expected to be prepared with AwD / 4wD or chains to handle driving in inclement/ winter weather. Guests are expected to be able to manage common home operations such as resetting a breaker, unclogging a toilet or using the fireplace. Guests understand that internet and power outages are beyond management's control and although management can help report such outages, ongoing updates and resolutions come from the utility companies directly. -Neighbors All our homes feel private, often surrounded by thick trees and wilderness, and hot tubs are all private- just for you- and situated so that you will feel like there is no one else around so guests return home feeling relaxed and refreshed. But- we are just an hour from Seattle and population continues to grow, so keep in mind that most of these homes are in communities with neighboring houses. "Secluded" in our area usually means off-grid with no power or water which are amenities we would prefer to provide! -Utilities Our homes are all on wells or have systems that bring water from the river. It is then thoroughly filtered and all systems have been tested to assure it is potable water. However, minerals in the ground often may add an orange taint that can stain spas, toilets, sinks and tubs. Do not be alarmed, it is just something that happens when the water table changes. Power outages may happen and are often resolved quite quickly unless caused by inclement weather. If your life depends on constant electricity or internet access, staying in the wilderness in a national forest is not advised. Well pumps are also run by electricity so in case of power outages, the water will also be out. We provide emergency lighting, some emergency water, water from spas can be poured in a toilet to flush and most homes have firewood for heat, so guests have the option to wait it out or depart and receive a 30% refund of the nights impacted as per Airbnb’s Extenuating Circumstances policy. We highly recommend purchasing trip insurance, especially during the months of inclement weather when outages can be frequent. -river This home is on high bank and access is at your own risk. Easy river access can be found right across the highway at the Skykomish Ballfield. The river changes with the seasons, and each year banks and access points may change as well, so we are unable to make any guarantees on what the condition of the river or access will be but we do our best to maintain access during warmer months. Children should never be unattended at the river (or in spas). Life jackets are recommended, especially for children, but not provided. The spring months of April - June/ early July tend to be the most dangerous because the weather gets hot, the river looks cool, and everyone wants to swim- but at these times the river is swift and cold from snow melt and the undercurrent is deadly. Please use caution! Please also make sure to check current fishing regulations if you plan on fishing. -Usage Owners are sharing their private homes with you, so please honor this privilege by being a respectful guest and neighbor. Events, parties, or gatherings with non-paying guests are not allowed and occupancy is strictly enforced. Pets need to be kept on a leash when out and about and clean up your pet waste. Firearms and fireworks are strictly forbidden!! It is important we all follow these easy rules so counties and neighborhoods will continue to welcome vacation rentals and their guests. Thank you! -Make sure you've received "Final Arrival Instructions" email before you go A week before your arrival, we will send your "Final Arrival Instructions" via text link, and this will have all the information you need to get to, and into, the cabin including access codes and directions. It is important you have this information available offline when you go as cell reception may be spotty on the way. We encourage you to follow our detailed directions, not solely gps. -Make sure your guest count and pet count are correct Double check your details, including guest and pet count, to be sure we have the correct information. If you wish to have visiting guests, please let us know in advance so we do not assume they are unauthorized nightly guests. Pets are welcome for just $50. We expect pet waste to be picked up and properly bagged in outdoor trash bins. Pets absolutely cannot be left in homes unattended unless they are crated!
