The bear is holding the door.
Keypad code arrives the day before. Gravel drive, no neighbors in sight, the whole cabin lit and warm when you walk in.
Light the fire.
Firewood is stacked for you. Adirondack chairs around the stone pit, s’mores if you brought them, the pines going dark around you.
Dinner in, or Hochatown out.
Grill on the deck or the round table by the window. Hochatown’s restaurants, breweries and wineries are 14 minutes down US-259.
Hot tub under the pines.
On the covered deck, screened by trees, with the outdoor fireplace and the deck TV if you want it. Nobody else can see in.
Coffee, then the trail.
Keurig stocked, teak sofa on the deck, deer on Lovers Lane if you are quiet. Check-out is not until 11.
