Currently, Verizon and AT&T are the only cell carriers that works in that area. We encourage you to print instructions before you head up to the property. Also another way to get accurate directions to the cabin is the put the address in maps app on your phone before you start your trip. Once you lose reception in the city of Long Barn the map app will still be able to bring you right to the property without reception. If arriving at night our cabin is completely lit up with white Christmas lights to help show your way.

WIFI
Due to the rural location of our community Hughesnet satellite Internet is the only carrier available. We feel grateful that we can extend this service to you, as most cabins in our area do not have a line of sight for the satellite. Keep in mind that satellite Internet is good for surfing the Internet, emails and light social media. Streaming is not supported.

We do have a landline available at the cabin to utilize for local calls.

In the winter months, we have provided two shovels at the property. If you are at the property during a snowstorm you would utilize the shovel the driveway and deck for access. We will ensure that the cabin is accessible for you upon arrival. But maintaining the property is a guest responsibility.

Parking
We have a long paved driveway that you could park three average sized vehicles on. In the winter months if it is snowing you will be required to park on the driveway and not the road. This is to ensure that the snowplow vehicles are able to plow the road daily around 3 PM. This might require shoveling snow on driveway to access a parking spot. We want to make sure you don't receive a hefty ticket from city. We suggest during snowfall to park up towards the top of the driveway, this will help with getting out of the driveway during the winter/snow season.

The outdoor patio furniture is put away for the winter months. December- April the outdoor cushions, umbrella and fire pit chairs are available upon request as long as the guests return them to the basement for the winter months.

Please note WE DO NOT provide the following: laundry detergent, extra trash bags, firewood, propane for BBQ. There is a propane tank, however we do not monitor the propane usage.

The property was great, we enjoyed the neighborhood. There was a window AC unit which was nice since we stayed in the summer. We loved how the house was decorated and the family friendly movie collection. We would stay here again.

We've camped for years at Pinecrest. While the rest of our extended family now has motorhomes and we do not , woodsy retreat is perfect alternative . The cabin is comfortable, convenient to the lake and accepts doggos. It is well appointed. Comfortable beds and nice linens. Kitchen is well equipped. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return.
