Things to Know

Access note: Please plan on arriving during daylight so that you may clearly see the road your first time. The road leading to the cabin is a one-lane gravel road. With higher elevation homes like this one, the access roads will be steeper, narrower, and curvier than you may be used to driving. Consider it part of our rural mountain charm!

Per HOA rules, dogs must be kept on a leash when going for a walk.
