When vacationing in the forest there is a heightened probability that you will encounter some type of wildlife, insects or stray animals (normally cats).

Because of the natural habitation of the forest, no refunds or compensation will be given for any pests inside or outside the cabins. Guests may also encounter dogs or cats at the property. These animals are the family pets of a neighbor or a stray animal. Guests should NOT feed these animals, nor permit them to enter the cabin. Guests should not allow their children to play with, pet or feed these animals. We are not responsible for any wildlife or animal encounters of any kind. Keep in mind wildlife and strays do NOT have vaccinations. We will not be responsible for any medical bills resulting from a wildlife or stay animal encounter nor will we attempt to capture or kill a wild animal or stray for rabies observation or testing.
