Guest access
You will have access to the entire property, except for one locked owners' closet.
Other things to note:
4WD/ AWD vehicles with snow tires required in winter (Oct- May). There can be a lot of snow up high in the mountains! Please note this when renting any vehicles. We do not provide tow service and I want to make sure you have a stress-free vacation.
The road is paved until you get to our neighborhood, the Placer Valley - at this point the road turns to gravel (3.5 miles to the cabin). As you head up the west side of the valley, the road gets bumpy (when there's not snow smoothing out the bumps) - drive slowly and enjoy the views!
There is no cell phone service at the cabin. Most people are able to text and use Wi-Fi calling via our super fast Starlink Internet. We also provide a landline.
Please note that the cabin is not “childproof.” Guests accept this risk and understand that they are responsible for the safety of their children. For example, there are no fireplace guards around the wood stove or gas fireplaces and the stairs have open risers.
The cabin is located at 11,100' feet in elevation. Some people experience altitude sickness at high elevation. Talk to your doctor beforehand (medication is available to help with altitude), drink lots of water before and during your visit, and take it easy while you acclimate.
