ACCESS TO THE HOUSE:
Yonahlossee is an established community in Boone that prides itself on safe access to all homes - as a result, roads around the house are 100% paved, very well maintained, and snowplowed in a timely fashion. However, because it is a mountain home, some guests may find these and other roads in Boone steep, windy, and/or narrow. While we're very confident that you'll feel like a pro after driving them a couple times, to ensure guest safety and comfort across the board, **4WD/AWD are required between October-April** and recommended at other times of year.
