Other things to note
Do note, our cabin is on a mountain, which means you may see deer, woodpeckers, butterflies, lots of birds, and the occasional bear - be careful about leaving food outside! That said, bugs are everywhere and a part of the natural environment. We have regular pest treatments and try to keep exterior doors and windows closed to prevent nature from coming inside. As a heavily wooded area, allergens are also everywhere and vary seasonally.
In the winter, we strongly recommend 4WD or AWD to navigate the last portion of the paved road uphill and flat gravel road to the home.
We encourage you to explore and enjoy nature - just mind the steepness of the rocky terrain. Hikers do get lost on the Appalachian Trail, so we do encourage you to prepare and practice safe hiking.
