While the setting is rural, you’ll find that essentials are not far: the local general store handles grocery basics, and the few restaurants/cafés in town are within a short drive. The tradeoff is that evenings are peaceful, and the night skies are often brilliant with stars.

Most cars can easily reach the home and explore the beautiful surrounding areas with ease. Just a heads-up, there is no public transportation, but we’re happy to help with any directions or recommendations!

► Bathroom Essentials
We provide a limited supply of bathroom essentials, including two rolls of toilet paper, guest, shampoo, conditioner, and soap. Please plan accordingly for your stay and feel free to bring any additional items you may need.
► This property does not have Wi-Fi, and cell service can be limited. We recommend that future guests screenshot the directions and lock code once received, as GPS and service may drop while driving up the mountain. Nestled in a remote setting, this getaway is designed for you to truly unplug and unwind.
► No Pets
► No Parties and/or Events
► No Smoking or Vaping
► Quiet Hours: 10 pm-7 am
