Other things to note
Covid-19 Note: Due to the pandemic, we are taking extra precautions to ensure our cabins are 100% clean for our guests. In addition to sanitizing all surfaces and items in the cabins, as well as bedding, we are taking the extra step of blocking a minimum of 3 days in between each guest's stay, as the virus does not survive on most surfaces beyond that length of time. Due to these extra steps, our cleaning fees per stay are currently double what they would normally be, and our required length of stay has been increased to 3 nights. These rates and requirements will go down when the pandemic concludes.
