Guest Access:
Each cottage features a private entrance, leading to a covered back porch. The entryway door is equipped with a lock pad and key.

Guests also have access to all shared areas on the property, including the sauna, dog kennel runs, and indoor game-cleaning facility. We kindly ask that you be courteous to other guests when using these shared spaces to ensure everyone has an enjoyable stay.

Guest Interaction:
Each cottage features a secure lock pad for a seamless and convenient check-in and check-out experience. You'll receive your key code before arrival, allowing you to settle in at your own pace. While there is no in-person interaction with the host, a nearby property manager is available if needed for emergency. For any questions or assistance, we kindly ask that you reach out via app or text message, with messaging during business hours being the preferred method of communication over phone calls. We're here to ensure you have a relaxing and enjoyable stay!

Pet Friendly Stays:
We are a dog-friendly property and welcome up to two dogs per cottage.

For guests traveling with hunting dogs, please be mindful of your dog’s condition after a day in the field. If your dog is muddy or dirty, we kindly ask that they stay in our complimentary on-site kennel runs rather than entering the cottage.

Our kennels are thoughtfully designed with hunting dogs in mind. Each measures 4x8x6 feet, is set on a concrete slab for easy cleaning, and includes comfortable bedding, a protective roof, and 55-gallon drums on each side for added shelter and comfort.
