EXTERIOR
The Harold is nestled in the heart of the forest. To preserve the natural, open atmosphere and allow deer to roam freely, we have chosen not to install fencing along the property line. In consideration of our neighbors, we've marked the boundary with orange reflector poles. Please be mindful and avoid crossing beyond these markers.
Please refrain from entering the gated propane tank area. For safety reasons, this should only be accessed by propane providers.

OTHER DETAILS TO NOTE
~ Cell service in the area can be spotty, but WiFi calling works well inside the house. Please note that cell coverage starts to become unreliable as you head up the mountain; which could affect your ability to make calls or use GPS, including in emergency situations. We do provide a land-line in the cabin in case you have trouble with cell service.
~ The house is located in a quiet neighborhood. Please be respectful of our neighbors—no parties are permitted.
~ Both Lake Cushman and Kokanee have very cold water, which can be dangerous even for strong swimmers. Always exercise caution and use personal flotation devices when entering the water. Some local parks may offer life vests to borrow.
