WILDLIFE AND INSECTS - Please be aware that this region is home to a variety of wildlife, including bears, large cats, and common seasonal insects like stink bugs and lady bugs. While encounters with large wildlife are rare, it's important to remain cautious, especially when outdoors—never leave food or trash unattended, and always secure doors and windows. During the fall and winter months, lady bugs can become particularly prevalent. Despite our use of professional pest control services, their persistence and the many access points around the property can still result in noticeable activity indoors. This is a widespread and normal occurrence in this part of the country. Stink bugs may also appear seasonally, though they are generally harmless. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in keeping both guests and local wildlife safe. WELL WATER - Please note that this property uses well water, not city water. Because of this, water usage must be limited. Avoid running hoses or using large amounts of water for extended periods, as this can risk running the well dry—a situation that is costly to resolve. Guests may be held responsible for any damage or expenses caused by excessive water use. We appreciate your help in conserving this valuable resource. FIREWOOD - We do our best to provide firewood for your use. However, please note that the wood may sometimes be damp or difficult to ignite. We recommend bringing your own kindling or fire starters to help get your fire going more easily. Please also be aware that county burn bans may be in effect during certain times of the year. It is your responsibility to check current restrictions and comply with all local fire safety regulations.
