Winter-Friendly Road Access:

Laurel Ridge is located directly off Highway 105, a well-maintained main road that's plowed and salted regularly. Our neighborhood HOA also plows and salts early (typically by 7 AM), and the street to our lower driveway is completely flat—a rare perk in the mountains!

If snow is in the forecast:
• We’ll have the driveway scraped and salted before you arrive

No steep switchbacks, no stressful arrivals—just easy mountain access so you can settle in and start making memories.

Overall it was a great great experience staying here. Everything was as listed with thoughtful extra things provided. Well stocked and labeled. Communication was great and prompt. The only issues where completely out of the home owners control. The pool was waiting on and inspection from the county. And a water issues with in the community. Both issues where still take care of promptly. And the owner provided remedies for both. Would recommend this house a friend.
