While it’s a privilege to share our environment with these magnificent creatures, it’s essential that we all take precautions to ensure our safety and theirs.

Be aware of your surroundings: Stay alert, especially during dawn and dusk when wildlife is most active. Avoid close encounters: If you see a bear or other wildlife, maintain a safe distance and do not approach. Travel in groups: When possible, hike or explore with others, and make noise to alert animals of your presence. Keep dogs leashed at all times. Your cooperation is crucial in maintaining a safe and harmonious environment for everyone. Thank you for your attention and care.

Wonderful House
We loved the house, it was perfect for two couples. Wish we had known about the conditions of the roads, we came in late at night in the fog and had a hard time navigating the narrow road. Otherwise, it was a beautiful place and we would definitely recommend it.

Great place
The cabin was great! The interior was beautifully furnished, clean, comfortable, and spacious. The deck was wonderful. There wasn't much of a yard to take the dogs out for a walk. The steep gravel drive was almost too much for my mini van to handle.

Watershed Resort #2
The property location and resort community are very nice. Unfortunately, the home itself has a large temperature differential between the first and second floor. Despite decreasing the temp, the family had a difficult time sleeping because the 2nd floor was so hot.
