We recommend having your own transportation. There is public transportation which can be found .3 miles from the home. To view this option search Mountain Transit. They also have a free trolley to the main parts of town.

Other Things to Note:
Reminder- This is the mountains. We do our best to control what we can. We spray and leave bait for pests, do our best to prevent rodents, and remove weeds throughout the year. Most of our homes do have sap producing trees.
