We’re a semi-off-the-grid cabin tucked into the raw, rugged forest, so yes—we do offer parking, but it comes with a bit of a nature clause.
The cabin site includes space for one regular-sized vehicle right on site. For guests towing trailers, RVs, or hauling boats and ATVs, we’ve got a larger parking area just behind the cabin site that’s easier to navigate and turn around in.
Because we’re fully at the mercy of Mother Nature in the wild, especially this time of year, we do our best to prepare guests. Between snow, spring melt, ice storms, and the kind of downpours that turn trails and grounds to soup, it gets... mucky. Boots are a must.
We mention all this in our listing and again in our welcome message, where we suggest parking in the back lot if they’re driving 2WD or aren’t sure about the terrain. We also send a day-of message letting them know the fireplaces are on, and giving one last reminder about parking options depending on their vehicle.
Still, I’m always surprised how many guests show up without reading a word of it—driving into the woods for an off-grid stay, expecting a paved lot and needing some intervention and/or extra support. And no boots in sight!
All part of the adventure, I guess. Best, Joe
