Please note: This house is dog-friendly, with a $100.00 non-refundable fee per dog (maximum of two). Sorry, this home is not cat-friendly due to common allergies. To reach this modern mountain cabin, you'll travel along paved mountain roads with a few twists and turns. The driveway is short and gravel, so while 4WD or AWD is recommended, it's not required. We also suggest arriving before dark on your first visit to get comfortable with the community roads—the journey there is all part of the adventure!
