They are also about a 15 minute walk away from the Nicholson Hollow Trail, another popular hiking destination. Old Rag Overlook is about 10 minutes from the trailhead. Note that you may now need to purchase a permit in advance for Old Rag: the latest National Park Service announcements are available here.

We welcome dogs! Guests can bring along up to three dogs, for an additional fee (given the additional cleaning required). The fee is $100 for one dog; $150 for two dogs and $200 for three dogs. Dogs must be at least one year old. Sorry, we do not allow cats under any circumstances.

There is wifi available, generally strong enough to stream movies, etc. Sometimes the signal is weak or unavailable, particularly in bad weather. There is extremely limited cell phone reception in the area, given the surrounding mountains. We recommend planning accordingly and using the wifi provided for communication.

Our properties offer a range of amenities, including private hot tubs, wood-burning stoves, well-stocked kitchens, outdoor gas grills, outdoor and indoor games, and mountain views. Old Rag Overlook also has a game room with a pool table and ping pong in its converted smokehouse.
