When you arrive, drive up the BACK DRIVEWAY (this is the SECOND DRIVEWAY on the right). Look for the REFLECTIVE POLE to help guide you.

Once you reach the SPLIT in the road, TAKE A RIGHT. Your destination will be the first house on the RIGHT. There will be clear signs with the house number to direct you.

When leaving, DO NOT USE THE BACK DRIVEWAY that you came in on. Instead, drive down the FRONT DRIVEWAY (directly in front of the house). Please note, the FRONT DRIVEWAY is steeper, but it is a ONE-WAY only.

IMPORTANT: Ensure you have the location PLUGGED INTO YOUR GPS before you arrive. Cell service can be spotty in the area, so it’s important to have your map ready. Once you arrive, CONNECT TO THE WIFI for better service.

We offer Starlink Internet for the best connection available in the mountains, but please note that weather can occasionally cause interruptions. Rest assured, we’ll do our best to get it back up as quickly as possible!

This is the perfect spot to relax after a day of hiking or wine tasting. Please note that cell service can be spotty, so we recommend connecting to the Wi-Fi upon arrival! Please reach out beforehand if you cannot locate the wi-fi information.
