Some of the more popular attractions close to this property are:

Fightingtown Creek Nature Park (hiking/mountain biking) - 17 minutes - 7.5 miles
Mercier Orchard - 18 minutes - 9.6 miles
Bear Claw Vineyards - 17 minutes - 8.5 miles
Cowgirl Up Stables - 9 minutes - 3.9 miles

Access is via paved roads, just off Old Highway 2 until you reach the gravel access road. The gravel access road is about 1 mile in distance and easy to navigate with a few bumps along the path that are typical with mountain gravel roads except for the last short distance of about ⅛ mile, it does start to have some stepper inclines at the end. If you are not use to driving on gravel roads, with inclines, we recommend an AWD or 4x4 vehicle. Some front wheel vehicles will make it but from experience we do not recommend attempting it in a minivan or passenger van. The key is keeping the vehicle moving and stay to the topside of the roads and not cutting the road with sharp turns.

Guest Access:
Access is via keyless entry. A check-in code will be provided 1 day prior to arrival. Checkout code will be provided the day before with instructions.

The entire cabin is available to the guest with the exception of the owner's closet and garage.
