All-wheel or 4-wheel drive is not required to ascend the roughly one-third mile to the cabin. The approach is via a gravel road, which may be somewhat uneven. Those unaccustomed to country or rural roads might find it slightly daunting, but it is indeed safe and manageable. Most of our guests, who have front-wheel drive vehicles, have reached the cabin without any issues. A helpful tip is to shift your vehicle into first gear as you approach the final stretch for better traction. The driveway accommodates 3-4 vehicles comfortably, depending on their size.
Here's a short video showing the actual drive to the cabin.
Yes, firewood is provided between the colder months of October through March. The wood is located next to the front porch for you to use when the nights get chilly! If the stack gets low, just let us know via a text message so we can re-stock. Oh, and don't forget to buy some hot chocolate to enjoy while warming up by the fire.
Yes, if the grill's tank runs low or empties, a spare tank is available on the rear main deck. To access it, please send us a text for the code to unlock the spare tank. This will also alert us to refill the empty tank for future guests.
Early Check-ins and/or late check-outs all depend on our booking schedule. You will need to inquire about the possibility of early check-ins and late check-out times within the week prior to your arrival. We will have to coordinate with our housekeeper’s schedule to see if she is able to prepare the cabin in time for your arrival. If there is a guest arriving/departing on the same day, no early check-in or late check-out will be possible. If no one is arriving or departing on your requested dates, we usually permit up to 2 extra hours as a courtesy, with prior written permission. Beyond that requires payment of an additional fee.
Please note: There is always the possibility that a last-minute reservation may come in for your early check-in or late check-out date. If that occurs, we will contact you and let you know that your early check-in or late check-out is no longer possible. This is rare but does happen occasionally, so please be aware of the possibility.
While we love animals, our pet policy is to keep our cabin pet-free especially for those who may have allergy sensitivities. We understand that most people have well-behaved fur babies, but in order to accommodate those who are allergic to pets, we want to maintain a pet-free policy. There are some really good local dog boarding facilities located within a half hour of the cabin. Evolutionary K-9 offers overnight and extended stay boarding for a minimal fee. They have very good ratings and are well respected within the community. For current prices and more information visit Evolutionary K9
After final payment is made, and approximately 3 days prior to arrival, we will email you access instructions and a unique code that will be good for the duration of your stay. If you don’t see the email with the subject header of “Dreamview Cabin Access Instructions”, please check your SPAM folder or let us know to re-send it to you.
We use an electronic keyless rental lock so you will be the only one that has your specific code. We have never had any issues with the lock, but if a malfunction should occur we do have a backup plan in place. Just call or text our number and we can give instructions at that time.
If a Guest cancels their reservation, any payment made will be refunded as follows:
CANCELLATION POLICY:
• 100% refund if cancelled 60 days or more days prior to the Check-in Date.
• No refunds within 60 days of arrival.
➢ We highly encourage the Guest to purchase traveler’s insurance for any unforeseen circumstances.

Depending on the duration of your stay, you might need to buy more supplies. Additionally, we provide all necessary linens, towels, washcloths, blankets, and pillows.

To maintain lower costs for most of our bookings, which accommodate six or fewer guests, we have reduced our nightly rates by $20-40 for groups up to six. Although the cabin can sleep eight, we aim to prevent smaller parties from incurring the costs associated with larger groups of 7 or 8, which typically use more utilities and contribute to increased wear and tear.
Payments can be made using credit cards or personal checks, although checks must clear first. For reservations made less than 21 days before check-in, we only accept payments via credit card. Any returned checks will lead to the immediate cancellation of the reservation.
A 50% deposit and a signed rental agreement are required to secure your reservation. The remaining balance must be paid 30 days prior to arrival.
Reservations made within 30 days of the arrival date require full payment at the time of booking.
A reservation is confirmed only after we have received both the 50% deposit and a signed rental agreement, which includes an e-signature obtained during the booking process, along with a copy of a government-issued photo ID.
Please note that rates may change until the reservation is confirmed.
We do not supply wood for the firepit; however, we suggest visiting a nearby Walmart or Home Depot to purchase a bundle of firewood for outdoor burning.
