  • We all love to enjoy the mountains and hiking in the Smoky Mountain National Park, but it can be a dirty day. Please remove excessively dirty shoes before walking on the decks and when entering the house. The front entrance has benches and shoe shelves for your convenience. The “Tennessee Clay” is damaging to the wood floors and carpeting.  Significant clay/mud on the carpet or hardwood may result in a forfeiture of deposit.

  • Please start a load of towels before you leave with the laundry pods provided on top of the unit. Place all other used towels in the hamper.

  • Remove ALL food from the refrigerator and dispose properly; please empty liquids before placing containers in trash bags.Trash must be bagged, tied and placed in the garbage bin in the driveway. No loose trash in the bin. The trash can must shut with the carabiner in place to protect from animals. Should there be an abundance of trash, please take it to Laurel Valley Trash Compactor (Google Map Link Provided). It’s a 5 min drive from the cabin. There should not be anything outside of the bin for bear safety.
