What to pack

Air Conditioning is Not Needed

Guests often ask if the cottages come equipped with air conditioning. They do not. While the days might be hot during the summer, its a rare occasion that the thermometer hits 90 degrees and warm air is displaced by cool breezes flowing down the mountainsides at The Nine Mile. It's never too hot for a good night's sleep in Potter County!
What to pack
