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 - 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.

Our stay was great at King Fisher cabin. It was spacious, clean and well furnished. The property was right on the river with 2 decks and a dock. It also has a large garage and a fish cleaning bldg. Our host was very attentive and communicated as needed with us. Only draw back was the road to the cabin, it was in poor shape and needed some serious maintenance.

We loved the location, views and peace and quiet.The cabin itself could use some work in the cleanliness catagory. While the property allows pets we had ants in our dogs food bowls after the first night. The outside grill was also swarming with ants that had to be hosed off to make it usable. Dishes/pots/pans were sticky and had to be washed before first use.While out of the owners control the water to the cabin shut off while one of us was in mid-shower leaving us covered in soap for a half an hour before the water finally returned. Apparently there is a community well that someone decided to service or shut off without warning.The property is listed as allowing pets but only one of three access points to the surrounding deck has a gate. We had to block off the other two with furniture.All of those points aside the owners/mgmt were very responsive and helpful with any questions or concerns we had.
