FAQ:
- When is trash picked up?
Trash Collection happens on Tuesdays after 6:00am.
*Trash policy- Guest(s) will bag and properly dispose of all their trash including recycling items.
All trash/recycling items must be bagged in appropriate (13-gallon bags or larger) trash bags and placed in proper outdoor locations prior to departure. The local trash company will not haul away loose left items, small bags, pet bags, or grocery bags.
Failure to properly bag (kitchen size bags or larger only) and/or remove all garbage/recyclables from the cabin will result in additional charges not less than $200.00 for bagging and additional haul off.
The trash bin is located at the end of the driveway. Trash bin must have lid shut and secured after each use to ensure animal damage/destruction doesn’t occur.
-What items can clog a toilet?
Our septic systems are fragile and items such as feminine products, paper towels, excess toilet paper, or anything else that does not belong in a toilet can cause a backup in the system. Do not put anything in the toilet except for normal use of toilet paper.
- Can I send mail to the property?
USPS does not provide service in the community. UPS and FedEx may be able to deliver to your home (be sure to provide accurate address information). Note, Mountainside Getaways is not responsible for lost or undelivered packages.

- When will I receive my check in instructions? What is the check in process?
A confirmation email will be sent 1-5 days prior to arrival.
