Terms and Conditions

Last updated September 25, 2026.

These terms apply to the four High Peak A-frame cabins at 7, 11, 19, and 25 High Drive. A multi-cabin stay must still be confirmed in writing before booking.

By making a reservation or using this website, you agree to these terms. Do not continue if you do not agree.

Definitions

“Guest,” “You,” and “Your” refer to the person making the reservation and all occupants. “High Peak,” “We,” “Our,” and “Us” refer to Richard Brown / Harmonious Abodes. In these terms, “Property” refers to the four High Peak cabins at 7, 11, 19, and 25 High Drive, West Jefferson, NC 28694.

Booking and payment

  • Reservations are made through the booking calendar on the cabin page. A stay still needs a confirmed reservation.
  • This website does not charge a card. Payment is taken by the booking system.
  • Amounts are quoted in USD and include applicable taxes unless otherwise noted.
  • A $75 pet fee per stay applies when you bring one well-behaved dog. Service animals are exempt.
