There are two other guest cabins and one private residence on the property, offering a peaceful sense of community with plenty of space to roam.
Nature at Its Finest
Our quiet forest setting offers stunning night skies, peaceful surroundings, and the occasional visit from local wildlife. As with any true nature escape, bugs are part of the experience—mosquitos, flies, ladybugs, and more may appear, especially near our pond in the evenings. We regularly treat the area to minimize discomfort and are happy to provide bug spray, extra treatments, or even a mid-stay cleaning upon request.
We also raise chickens on the property and love sharing farm-fresh eggs when available. Interested in meeting them? Just let us know—we’d be happy to give you a tour and a hands-on experience.
House Rules
No smoking or vaping within the cabin or within 20 feet of any cabin.
Up to two dogs are allowed, with advance notice and with the payment of a $75/visit pet fee. Dogs must be cleaned up after and guests are responsible for any damage that their dogs may cause. Service animals are welcome, but may not be left unattended at any time.
Trail Rider's Dream Basecamp
We are located directly on Silver Mountain Road (Forest Service Road 2270), providing immediate access to UTV/ATV trails and nearby connections to Snowmobile Trail #12 and #109. Ride straight from the driveway into miles of designated trail systems—ideal for outdoor enthusiasts year-round.
