There are many wonderful hiking trails near the Overlook Cabin and we encourage guests to explore this incredible land, safely. The terrain here is often rugged, there are many steep cliffs, and wildlife is often present. It is crucial that all guests take the utmost caution when out hiking, wear the proper attire and take the appropriate gear. If you are not a seasoned hiker please stay on the beaten path.

This is an off-grid cabin. There is a very clean, private outdoor compostable toilet as well as an outdoor shower that is next to the cabin and has one of the best views from the property just a few steps away from the cabin down a path, lit by solar lights all night.

We provide a fully stocked camp kitchen for two, which includes; plates, bowls, cups, cutting board, chef's knife, cast iron pan, tongs, spatula, Dr. Bronner's Soap, paper towels, a wine and beer key and a cooler, paper towels, a tea kettle for making hot water and a pour over for coffee. Bring your favorite GROUND coffee, or enjoy a nice pouch of instant coffee on us.

For cooking we have a nice BBQ/propane grill for your use.

You will need to bring at least two bags of ice for the cooler.

Please be sure to clean your dishes and remove trash that does not fit in the provided trash container. Additional bags of trash will NEED to be removed by the guest, or an additional feel will be charged. This is subject to the amount of trash left by guests.

The road is very well maintained, but steep as you climb the mountain side before reaching the Overlook Cabin. 4WD is necessary for access. We are happy to schedule a ride up for you in advance for a small additional fee! Reach out to your host before booking if this amenity is desired.

Due to the rugged nature of the property, children under the age of 14 are not permitted. We value safety first.

Fire danger is of utmost importance. Please note fire is not always permitted and it is imperative all guests strictly follow local and county guidelines.

Please make sure to bring all food inside of the cabin at night and when you're away hiking. Food left outside will attract wildlife including bears.
