All Drift Away®️ Luxury Lodging properties have HVAC UV Light Systems installed to kill bacteria and viruses in the air. We provide no-contact, keyless entry. Each property interior is protected with smoke detection, carbon monoxide detection, along with fire blankets & extinguishers. Properties may have water leak detection, natural gas leak detection, and/or a fire suppression system. The property is treated monthly for pest control and prevention to mitigate insects. However, since this property is in the mountains, surrounded by forest, it is impossible to keep out all insects at all times. The exterior of each property is protected with outdoor cameras covering front entrances, back entrances, parking, and/or property perimeter. There are no cameras inside any Drift Away®️ Luxury Lodging rental properties, because that’s weird & creepy. There is a noise monitoring device installed outside as to be sure we are in compliance with the Fannin County noise ordinance (April 2024).

The rental cabin is not childproof, and that extreme care must be exercised with children in rental cabins, especially around electrical outlets, fireplaces, fire pits/tables, swimming pools, hot tubs, saunas, decks, loft railings, etc. Any outdoor exploration on the property will be done at the Guests and party's own risk.
