Other Details to Note

😊 A Few Things to Know Before You Arrive: 🚗 Driveway Info The driveway is a bit steep and bumpy—just a heads-up! Please avoid bringing low-clearance sports cars. AWD/4x4 can be helpful in snowy or icy conditions, but not usually needed. 📶 WiFi & Cell Signal We’ve got Starlink WiFi and but cell signal can sometimes be spotty. But hey, you’re in Shenandoah, so feel free to unplug and soak up the nature! 🌲✨ 💧 Water Notice It’s a mountain thing—sometimes the tap water has a funny taste or smell. Totally safe, but feel free to bring your own drinking water if you're sensitive to it. 🍽️ Before You Go Please wash any used dishes by hand before check-out. We appreciate the help! 🙏 🐶 Bringing Your Pup? We love hosting furry friends! Just please clean up after them and help keep the yard nice for the next guest. 🔥 Fire Pit There’s a firepit for your use—but we don’t provide firewood (liability reasons). They’re easy to grab at a local store or gas station. 🛁 Hot Tub Tips Please cover the hot tub when not in use Please wiipe your feet before getting in—grit and pebbles can damage the system ⚠️ Just So You Know: The fireplaces are decorative only—please don’t try to light them The jets in the bathtub are not functional It's a remote escape cabin vibe, but we do have neighbors, you are alone in the mountain. Being in the mountains, you may see bugs like flies, mosquitoes, ants, etc.—we’ve got sprays if needed, but it’s part of the nature experience 🐜🌿 🚫 Important House Rules (No Exceptions): ✘ No smoking, vaping, or marijuana use—anywhere on the property ✘ Quiet hours are from 10PM to 7AM—let’s keep it peaceful for everyone ✘ Please check the full House Rules section for more info We’re so excited to host you at The Zen Garden and hope your stay is relaxing, fun, and memorable. 🌙 – Zen Living | Short Term Rental & Vacation Rental

House Rules

-Basic rule: This is our home, please treat it the same way you would treat your home. -No shoes in house please. No digging in the front yard please. -Additional cleaning fee may be charged if the condition requires a deep clean. Generally, if you treat the house the same way you would treat your home, you will be totally fine. -Cover the hot tub and tune the temperature to 99 degree when not using - Removal of 2 bags of trash is included in the cleaning fee. If you need a trash pickup during your stay, please contact me. -Please checkout on time. So that the cleaning crew could have enough time to prepare for the next guest, just like they prepared for your stay. If you would like to check out later than 11am or extend your stay, please contact me a day before your checkout. Checking out later than 30 minutes after the agreed upon time will result in a fee of $100, later than 1 hour will result in a fee of $200. - Pets are not to be abandoned at the house for long periods and all pet damage will be applied to the security deposit. -The toilet is old. Please be gentle. Don't clog it please or we're both going to have a bad time because it can be difficult to get a plumber out to the countryside on short notice. Please put any sanitary napkins etc. into the trashcan next to the toilet. Please don't flush anything other than toilet paper. - Please clean up your empties and make sure to take all food with you when leaving the house aside from condiments or dry goods leaving food or personal property behind may result in an additional fee depending on how much is left. - We love pets! Please make sure they are well behaved and make sure to clean up and dispose of pet waste. Please ensure that your pet is on a leash at all times outside of the house. There are pest control measures in place. Please let us know that there are pets coming so we can move traps and other hazards from floors. Any pet waste found on or in property will result in an additional cleaning fee. - Please be respectful of the neighbors and keep outdoor music or noises to a minimum after 10:30 on weeknights and midnight on weekends - There is NO DISHWASHER and NO DISPOSAL. Please wash all dishes and leave out to dry in the drying rack or use disposable plates and cups. Unwashed dishes will result in an additional cleaning fee. -Smoking or evidence of smoking (of anything of any kind) inside the house will result in the forfeiture of your entire security deposit. Guests with asthma or other respiratory issues have a right to a clean, smoke free house. Smoking outside is fine, but please make sure to extinguish all butts completely and dispose of them. -The house has two fire places, but both are currently non-functional. Use of the fireplaces may cause the house to burn down and if you use them I will charge the entirety of the security deposit. -We are blessed to have a large number and diverse range of pollinators that live in the mountains. They are not on the property but obviously it is impossible to keep them out. They are mostly calm and non-aggressive. Please do not kill them or swat at them as this may prompt them to defend themselves aggressively. It's a long ride to the ER. If you are allergic to bees stings please make sure to bring your epipen. -Please turn off heat or air conditioning at check out. The last few guests have had the AC and heat on when they left. We are trying to be as sustainable as possible.

Accessibility

Neighborhood

The neighborhood itself is quiet and secluded, providing a lot of quiet and seclusion. It is located just off the main road within the boundaries of George Washington Forest. It sits on a well maintained gravel road. 4x4 is not necessary during the summer but strongly advised in winter and early spring. Even during fantastic conditions, lowered cars or sports cars may encounter some difficulty with the hill. The neighbors are very friendly and will be glad to offer advice or chat and will certainly give you a wave on the way by.

Guest Access

🔒 Your Private Domain Exclusive access to the entire property (no shared spaces) Fully self-contained living areas for complete privacy 🚪 Seamless Arrival Protocol Keyless digital entry available 24/7 Custom access codes delivered on pre-arrival day

Find us

The road is steep and some cars may have trouble getting in during snowy or icy conditions. We strongly recommend that guests have a 4x4 or All Wheel Drive in the winter! We do not accept weather related cancellations outside of those set per the cancellation policy but will work to get you rescheduled in the event of inclimate weather! The area is remote. It's a 20 minute drive to the 24 hour Walmart, so make sure to get everything you need before you head to the cabin to avoid a late night trip into town. There is NO WIFI!, most major carriers like AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile all have full signal and phones can be used as hot spots. Due to abuse of the trash removal policy, each rental includes two bags of garbage as part of the cleaning fee. there are three landfills in the area as well as the dumpsters behind Shenandoah river outfitters should you have extra garbage. On your way here, the last turn is probably going to be "Montainview Dr", just remember to keep right. If it leads to a steep road up, you are probably on the right path.
