・Current permits and registrations
Note: there is a variety of wildlife in the area. Never approach, feed, or attempt to attract any animals.
⏤ ENHANCED CLEANING ⏤
Our housekeeping partner has a strict cleaning regimen that is performed after every guest stay. It includes processes and procedures to provide protections for our guests and our team members.
All laundry is done at recommended temperatures and uses products designed to provide the proper degree of sanitization.
・Inspected & licensed by Sevier County Fire Department.
After every stay:.
・Hot Tub: Drained, cleaned/sanitized/refilled; Bromine added.
・Linens: laundered/processed in a commercial facility at recommended temperatures.
We are very near Great Smoky Mountains National Park:
・Bears, bobcats, coyotes, wild turkeys, bats, snakes, scorpions, lizards, and other wildlife are found throughout the region. Heed the warnings and *NEVER* approach any wild animal.
・You may encounter insects or small critters in or around the cabin. We get a wide variety here in the woods, and we are all just visitors in their world. While we are on a comprehensive pest control regimen, Lady Bugs & Asian Beetles are a common issue. They are generally considered "beneficial species".
⏤ PARKING & ROAD CONDITIONS ⏤
The cabin’s location is off a private gravel road, which may be considered steep or narrow in places. We don’t maintain the road, but it’s usually accessible. Rain, snow, or extreme weather can affect its condition. We recommend AWD or 4WD vehicles for heavy rains or winter weather. Low-clearance vehicles and motorcycles may find it challenging and are not recommended.
Smoky Mountain roads can be bumpy and winding with obstacles like fallen branches. Snow is rare but may take time to clear due to limited snow-removal equipment. Plan ahead, check forecasts, and prepare for the weather.
We can’t refund for road or weather-related issues, so check road conditions often. Watch the drive video (search online for “#mountainair37862”) for helpful information.
If you’re unfamiliar with mountain driving or have concerns, message us with questions. Our guests love staying here, and we want you comfortable with the adventure.
The cabin has parking for 2-3 vehicles. The turnaround space is limited, but full-sized pickup trucks navigate it with patience. The driveway is a mix of dirt and gravel, and we groom it as needed.
⏤ WI-FI, PHONE, & TV SERVICES ⏤
Cellular signals are usually weak at the cabin. We have a signal booster indoors, near the kitchen - results can vary.
We have DishTV & basic Internet/Wi-Fi. Speeds aren’t guaranteed and may not be suitable for streaming TV/video at times. Weather can affect their operation and performance.
