🌄 **Welcome to Sanctuary in the Smokies!** Kick back, relax, and enjoy the mountain magic. Here are our fun, friendly house guidelines to keep your stay safe, comfy, and *bear-free* (hopefully). --- 🏡 **Treat the Cabin Kindly** Handle the cabin like your own peaceful retreat. Registered guests only — unregistered visitors will be gently escorted out by our neighborhood black bear. He works for tips. (half eaten sandwiches, leftovers etc) 😴 **Quiet Hours | 11 PM – 8 AM** Sound bounces around these hills like it’s got somewhere to be. Thanks for keeping nights mellow and respecting gusts in other cabins! 🚫🐾 **No Pets** We love furry buddies, but this cabin stays 100% pet-free to keep it comfy for all future guests. NO 🚭 **Smoking** No smoking or vaping inside. Outdoors is fine — just keep it tidy so the porch stays scenic. 📶 **WiFi Info (the good stuff)** **Network:** Sanctuary in the Smokies **Password:** Blackbear (Yes, of course it’s Blackbear. Would it really be anything else?) 🛁 **Hot Tub Rules** We drain and refill our Hot Tub with fresh water for every new stay! The hot tub isnt a bubble bath...even if it does look tempting --- 🍳 **Kitchen Etiquette** Cook, snack, unwind — just tidy up afterward and start the dishwasher at checkout. 🗑️ **Trash** All trash goes into the bear-proof bins *latched tight* with the chain and caribiner attached. If you leave food outside, the bears will consider it an invitation… and they never RSVP 🐻 **Bear Habits & Staying Safe** You are officially in bear country — congrats! A few things to keep your trip from becoming a Discovery Channel episode: * Bears are most active at dusk, dark, and early morning. * If you go out to the car, go for a walk **bring a flashlight and stay aware**. * Bears are curious, quiet, and surprisingly polite — unless you leave food out. * Do not approach, feed, or have a heart-to-heart with them. * Keep food, coolers, and trash inside or secured. 🚪 **Checkout | 10 AM** * Start the dishwasher * Towels in the shower * Lock up * Give the mountains a goodbye wave ✌️ Enjoy your time at Sanctuary in the Smokies — relax deeply, explore freely, and if you spot a black bear… admire from a safe, selfie-free distance!

Guests will enjoy full, private access to the entire cabin during their stay—no shared spaces inside the home. Relax, cook, play, and unwind with complete privacy from check-in to check-out. In addition to the cabin, you’ll have access to the community amenity center, located at the top of the mountain just a short 5-minute walk away. Amenities include a fitness gym and a seasonal outdoor pool (open during warmer months). It’s the perfect spot to squeeze in a workout or cool off after a day of exploring. Everything you need for a fun, relaxing, and comfortable mountain getaway is right at your fingertips.
