The cabin does not have air conditioning. The cabin does not have a dish washer.

No street parking at any time; very narrow dirt road. Being on the edge of a mountain you will find bears, mountain lions, coyotes, creepy crawlies and occassionally bunnies and mice. This is a rustic and unique cabin and wildlife is apart of the charm.
