A few practical things before you arrive. Bringing little ones? There's a crib, a high chair, safety gates, outlet covers, a playroom, and children's books, toys and dishes — plus a first aid kit. Guests are often surprised to find them, so pack lighter than you think. There's a charcoal grill in the backyard by the deck stairs if you'd rather cook outside. About bears: this is black bear country and they do come through the neighborhood. Keep food and trash inside, and nothing edible on the deck overnight. They make a good story as long as they stay outside. Quiet hours after 10pm, and no pets, smoking or parties. The front-porch steps and the stairs to the upstairs bedroom are steeper than most - worth knowing if anyone in your group has trouble with stairs. If anything isn't right, message us during your stay — we'd much rather fix it while you're here than read about it afterward.
