Cabin is located at the bottom of a narrow, pothole filled road. Not an issue for most but take it slow if you're in a low clearance vehicle. On the plus side, the location does provide privacy in a forested setting. Cabin and gated deck were very dog friendly. A short, trail leading to a stream is just behind the property and was perfect for morning dog walks. It's a short 10 minute drive to Pinecrest lake, but if Pinecrest is too busy for your taste, a quieter alternative is Lyons Reservior (2 miles away). The road to Lyons is a little dusty but there are no boats allowed on the reservoir which makes for a pieceful, scenic hike or quiet day of fishing. Bed in the loft is a little firm, which suited my wife, but I found myself missing my mattress topper (Did'nt try the beds in the second room).
