PLEASE EXCUSE OUR DUST

We are in the middle of extensive renovations. Every room has received a makeover. We plan on making the entire main cabin rentable.  It will be a 6 bedroom 4 bathroom home. We have gutted the original 1963 cabin and are about 50 % completed.  We have created a new parking area, widened the roads, and created a new road down from the top area.  We have purchased a 4th cabin and will also gut that one too.
