Guests have access to the entire cabin and free access to the Benton MacKaye trail, just a short walking distance away. Our cabin is accessible via a private mountain road that adds to the adventure of your retreat. While accessible by all vehicle types, we recommend SUVs or trucks for an added layer of confidence on this charming mountain path, especially during the snowy season when 4WD might be preferable. Parking is available in the gravel driveway and can fit about 5 medium-sized cars.
The Neighborhood:
Our home is located on the top of our mountain and is the perfect place to take in the fresh mountain air. There are many lovely homes speckled on the mountain and a beautiful creek running on the right side. Grab your hiking shoes for an energetic hike down the gravel road; just be ready for the climb back up! You’ll pass by beautiful wildflowers and the rushing sounds of the creek to keep you in a state of peace as you venture through nature.
Getting Around:
The best way to get around this area is via car.
