You have a feeling of seclusion, but just a 7 mile drive to town for shopping and restaurants. The drive to the cabin from Hwy 9, is 4.5 miles on a dirt/gravel road up the spectacular Pennsylvania mountain side. It feels far, but very close to everything you need. We want to note, its important you understand, we are up a mountain, there is no Uber delivery, Pizza delivery, or any type of delivery to the cabin, the home sits 5 miles from the closest grocery store in Fairplay called Prathers Market, we encourage you to do your shopping before getting to the home, pick up your essential groceries and drinks, the cabin has some condiments like salt, pepper, and others that people have left. Feel free to use them.

Please pick up your groceries and essentials before arriving at the cabin. We don’t control Mother Nature, you want to be stocked up and prepared in case of a sudden storm.

Please note:

The cabin is located at approximately 11,350 feet (3,500 m) so be aware of the altitude. Be prepared and bring oxygen bottles, they sell at all the local grocery stores, pharmacies, etc. It's good to have while you acclimate to the altitude. Please plan accordingly and educate yourself on altitude, you can experience shortness of breath, headaches, vomiting, and other symptoms. Consult a medical doctor and be prepared.

During the snowy (October thru May) months, **You MUST HAVE four-wheeled drive or all wheel drive, with good winter tires** as you will most likely encounter icy and/or snowy roads in the entire neighborhood. I do have a steep driveway which is great for sledding, but needs an appropriate SUV. Chains are even recommended. It is a bumpy, non paved, graveled, 2 lane road for the last 4.5 miles, but it's a beautiful drive thru the woods of Pennsylvania Mountain. The roads in our area are maintained / plowed by the county and that service is not within our control on when they plow. Our snow removal service will plow our driveway after a storm, but may need some time to get there, please stock up and be prepared to wait out storms. We don't control nature, but can prepare. The deck may not be shoveled after storms for use, its up to you.

If booking the discounted spring/fall off season rates and it snows, the driveway won't be plowed. Plows are included November 15-April 15. You may have to walk up the steep, unplowed driveway, if your vehicle is unable to make it to the top of the driveway. My plow guy may be able to plow at your expense also, if he's available.

Additional rules:

-Please review our cancellation policy prior to booking. We uphold this cancellation policy. We are not responsible and will not refund, if you cannot reach the cabin. No refund for delayed arrival or early departure (even weather/medical reasons), or lack of utilities beyond my control. We are not responsible for loss, damage, injury or trip interruption from fire, flood, hail, snow, rain, wind, storms, or other acts of God or vandalism beyond our control. Trip insurance is highly recommended.
