The main road into the community, while paved the majority of the way, is steep and curvy. About halfway into the subdivision, the main road turns into gravel. This road is also very curvy. It is strongly recommended that your first trip to the cabin be during daylight hours. There are no street lights and the road is dark at night. After your first trip up, you will be a seasoned pro at mountain driving. All-wheel or 4WD is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED during the winter months.
