Guest Guide
Everything for a perfect stay
The essentials below; the full printed guidebook waits for you at the cabin, and our neighborhood favorites live at guide.wildhavencabin.com.
Arrival & Check-in. 3:00 PM
Our white mailbox marks the start of a steep driveway. Follow it all the way up. You'll pass a red brick house on the right; keep going onto the flat gravel path that leads back to the cabin and park at the end (two spots, with turnaround space. Back in so you can drive out forward).
Check-in is self-serve with a smart lock; we'll send your door code before arrival. Inside you'll find the Wi-Fi details framed on the shelf, a welcome basket, and the printed guidebook.
The Hot Tub
- Shower first. It keeps the water clean. Remove the sanitizing floater and set it aside.
- The control panel is on the white oval panel at tub side. Preset to 104°F; jets, lights and waterfall toggle at the panel.
- Limit soaks to 15-20 minutes, stay hydrated, and no glass near the tub. Children under 12 only with direct supervision.
- After: jets off, floater back in, cover latched snugly.
The Barrel Sauna
- Robes and slippers for two are in the bedroom closet. Follow the lighted path.
- Turn the black knob on the heater's right side: click once, click twice, then back to the first click for a 1-hour heat cycle. Preheat 30-45 minutes.
- For steam, pour a small dipper of water over the rocks. Never touch them.
- Sessions of 10-20 minutes; drink water before, during, after. Pregnant guests or those with heart conditions should consult a doctor first.
The Fire Pit
- Calm, dry weather only. This is a heavily wooded area. Adults only.
- Wood packs are under the sink: center one on the cone, light all four corners, and enjoy ~30 smokeless minutes. Extra pellet boxes available ($5/box).
- Metal s'mores sticks live in the kitchen cupboard by the ceiling.
- Let the fire burn out or spray gently with water; never leave it unattended.
The Forest & Creek
You may see deer, turtles, and many, many birds (the free Merlin Bird ID app is wonderful here). If you walk to the creek, follow the small flags. There's no formal trail yet, so wear sturdy shoes, watch for poison ivy, and do a tick check after. Hiking poles hang by the front door. Please stay within the preserve boundaries.
Kitchen Notes
- Keurig, French press (bring your own beans. Grinder on the top shelf), tea, creamers, and honey sticks are complimentary.
- Two-burner cooktop heats fast and stays hot ~30 minutes after switching off; the controls have a cover to prevent accidental presses.
- Ninja air-fry oven, microwave, mini waffle maker, magic bullet blender, ice maker, and a gas grill on the deck.
- Let grease cool, then dispose of it in the trash. Bins are off the gravel driveway. Please latch the lids (the raccoons are clever).
House Rules
- No smoking or vaping inside the cabin or patio (permitted at the fire pit).
- No unregistered guests, parties, or large gatherings. Maximum 3 registered guests.
- No pets or animals of any kind on the property.
- Quiet enjoyment. No excessive noise or disturbances to the neighbors.
