The 2.3-mile road up the mountain to the cabin is unpaved, with no guardrails and a scattering of potholes and loose rocks.

Cabin has radiant heated floors and a small electric heater to keep warm during cooler autumn nights. PLEASE NOTE: Driveway is of a steep grade, has loose gravel, and not regularly plowed in winter-- guests are thus asked NOT to drive down it when snow-covered/Wintertime (this follows several guests get stuck, both in rented Jeeps--causing great inconvenience and a missed plane)--Guests can park at the top of the driveway and walk down. High heels are highly advised against when walking up or down the driveway any time of year. Also, this could present a problem for handicapped or elderly guests who may require assistance, when parking at the top of the driveway.
