The access road (driveway) to this property is a short gravel road, shared with 4 neighboring properties, Please be kind, drive slowly and follow parking guidelines to avoid blocking access to neighboring properties
The shared gravel road is suitable for cars, SUVs, or average sized trucks. The property provides free parking on this gravel access road above the property, for up to 3 vehicles or 2 vehicles and a average sized single axle boat trailer.
This is a Lake Cabin, located down at Lake level, tucked into a hillside in a wooded area. This means guests must walk about 10 yds down a fairly steep gravel 'path' to a set of 8 stairs to the door. This could present a challenge for elderly or disabled guests.
Please be aware: Although you will also see a very steep gravel driveway from the shared access road/parking area, down to the level of the Cabin door, it is NOT recommended for parking or Cabin access by 2 wheel drive vehicles. This steep access driveway is suitable only for experienced drivers of 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive vehicles. Guests who attempt to drive a vehicle on this steep driveway do so at their own risk.
