Arrival

Please be advised that the road up to the cabin during the summer months is easily accessible with two wheel drive. The only time during summer months you would need four wheel drive would be in the event of continued rain. If you do not have a four wheel drive vehicle, please let me know and I can make arrangements for a four wheel drive truck to be parked at the bottom of the hill should we experience heavy rains. During winter months (October thru April), this road is only accessible via four wheel drive. If you have any questions regarding access, please ask before making your reservations.
