EASY ACCESS TO NEIGHBORHOOD AND PROPERTY
The cabin is easily accessible through a wide, well-maintained paved road that winds up through the neighborhood. It does climb up a portion of a mountain so some areas are a bit steep-but there are no tight switchbacks. The last portion of the drive to reach our driveway requires you to exit the gated community & traverse a road that is a bit narrower: you will not be on it for long. We will give directions so that you don't drive on this narrower road the whole way up-coming through our gated neighborhood w/wider roads is scenic & a much easier drive!
Parking is on a paved surface-there is room for 4 vehicles.
