This is a mountain cabin & as such, you will drive UP a mountain to reach it.

(Exception: 4WD / AWD is highly recommended when there is snowy/icy weather forecasted.) There is a covered, attached carport for 1 vehicle and space for another vehicle in the driveway. Due to the angle of the driveway, there is NO left turn into the driveway. Simply pass it up & turn around at the next curve/switchback. This will give you the ideal angle to drive up and back down the driveway.
