The house is in a private community tucked away in the mountains, with neighboring farmland. Each house is several hundred feet away from the next one and is typically quiet and private. Be sure to respect neighbors’ desire for privacy and a quiet neighborhood!

Each home in the neighborhood has its private driveway and parking -- no street parking is allowed, so if you have any concerns about your vehicle fitting in the parking area, be sure to check with us ahead of time!

The best views come with a climb! The driveway is steep, but any standard vehicle will have no trouble during spring/summer/fall. By the time your stay is up, you'll be a pro coming and going! Prius? No sweat. Minivan? Absolutely. Truck? No problem. Motorcycles/vehicles with trailers? I sure hope you know what you're doing! Have concerns or questions? Just ask - we'll do our best to help you out!
