Reservations require 50% in advance.  Can be paid through our website with a credit card or by sending a check.  Whichever you prefer.  Plan on paying balance by check or cash while you are here...or if you want to use a credit card for the balance simply pay before you come down.  Check calendar for availability

NOTE: You must reserve your cabin either by email or phone contact BEFORE you make your payment on line. While I try to keep the availability calendar up to date it is important you assure the dates are available with personal contact BEFORE making the deposit. Thank you.
 

Important: I always send out an informational postcard when I receive a deposit. Be sure and let me know if this is a surprise or if you need the postcard sent to a different address than is on your check or PayPal deposit.

 

We strongly recommend that you do NOT use your GPS to find us.  We have great directions on our web site coming from all directions.  If not clear call us for the best directions.  Our address does not show up in the GPS/navigational systems.  If it does, it seems to take the long way around and has caused some people to be lost for hours.

 

Cell phone coverage is not the greatest here.  Verizon and Alltel seem to do the best.

 

We now have generators for those rare occasions when the electricity goes out.

 

Plan on bringing any food type items.  There is usually salt and pepper and other condiments but don't count on it.  We do provide coffee and popcorn.  But bring everything else that you require.  We recommend you pick up your food on the way down.  Harrisburg has a Kroger and a Super Walmart.  There are some small markets for items but especially vegetables are limited. 

 

We do provide wood for the fire, but bring something to start it such as fire starters, lighter fluid, newspapers, fire log, etc. 

 

We do not provide charcoal for the grills anymore.  If you want to grill out bring your own charcoal and lighter.  There is a gas grill at the pavilion near Deer Run, Bear's Den and Cougar Bluff and there is a gas grill at Eagle's Retreat.  All cabins have charcoal grills and a fire pit with wood provided.

Our cabins are in a private setting with forest all around. Bear's Den, Cougar Bluff and Deer Run are in the same general vicinity.....far enough apart not to be intrusive - but close enough to use for family gatherings. You cannot see our house, but we are nearby on the property. Our guests feel secure, but have their privacy as well. Coyote Hollow and Eagle's Retreat are a short distance away from the other three cabins and are close enough to use for family gatherings, but far enough apart not to be intrusive. We are just off a very beautiful blacktop which wanders through the Shawnee National Forest. The only gravel road is our lane to the cabins.


 


Rules & Regulations

 

Bob and I have lovingly put a lot of effort into making the cabins cozy and comfortable just for you....Please leave them as you found them. Out of thousands of guests we have only had a handful leave dirty dishes or trash the cabins.  That says a lot.  We thank you........

We are extremely pet friendly. We do not charge extra for pets. But, we do expect pet owners to clean up after their pets - especially pet hair. Pets should not be left loose or uncrated when you are gone from the cabin. The most well behaved pet will get upset if left in an unfamiliar place by themselves. If we continue to receive the wonderful cooperation from pet owners we will be able to continue our policy of welcoming pets.  As of 9/30/2009 we have a two dog limit.  As always, make sure we know you have pets coming with you. 

-No smoking

 

-No fireworks

-We feel you will not be comfortable if you have more than four adults in either of our two smaller cabins. if you want to squeeze one more in the Bear's Den, it is ok with us - but no more than five. Cougar Bluff and the Bear's Den are cute and wonderfully appointed, but they are not large. Consider Deer Run, Coyote Hollow or Eagle's Retreat if you need more room.

 

We suggest you bring plenty of bug spray and use it.  We keep the cabin area mowed but there are insects in the area in the summer time....if you get in the weeds or bushes while you are hiking or fishing you should protect yourself with bug spray.  Remember, your furry friends will be low to the ground and may bring bugs to you.  We have the old time chiggers and a nasty little biter called a turkey mite.  I call it a mutant chigger.  They really itch when they bite.  Just wear bug spray...try to stay out of the weeds and you should be fine.  Ticks are here as well especially in the Spring and early Summer.  Just be prepared.......You are in and near the woods.
