Other Details to Note
There is another home approximately 150 yards away. Both properties are very private, with a shed blocking much of the view, and guests at the neighboring home primarily use their back patio on the opposite side. Our guests have all felt like their stay was very private. The gravel road from Highway 43 to the house is regularly graded and typically in very good condition. After heavy rain or snowmelt, it can become muddy. Four-wheel or all-wheel drive is helpful during wet conditions, but no one has ever gotten stuck on the road. The road generally dries within a couple of days once rain stops. The property can be totally enclosed for the safety of your dog--you just need to close the car gate!
