Snow Months:

During adverse weather months (not always, but generally December-March/April- review the forecast), it is required that all guests be prepared for the conditions. Four-wheel drive, tire chains and winter tires are required. The road leading to the cabin is private and maintained by a private contractor. If a guest`s vehicle becomes stuck, it will be the guests` responsibility to find a local tow company to extract their vehicle(s). We recommend Brown`s Towing. If damage is done to the road by guests, and especially due to guests getting stuck, it will be the responsibility of the guest to repair the road.
