Cabin Rental Checklist

  • Hot tub: Most popular amenity — verify it's private, not shared
  • Fireplace: Wood-burning adds charm, gas is easier — check which type
  • 4WD / chains: In winter, confirm the driveway is plowed and accessible
  • Parking: Some cabins have steep or limited driveways — ask about it
  • Wi-Fi speed: Mountain internet can be spotty — check recent reviews
  • Linens & towels: Most Airbnbs include them, some older listings don't
  • Pet policy: Even "pet-friendly" places may have breed/size restrictions
  • Checkout rules: Some require stripping beds or taking out trash — read the fine print
