When you get into the mountains...

You lose the smog

The fresh mountain air is wonderful to breathe in so we ask that you help keep it that way, at least inside the cottage and if you must, smoke outdoors.

GPS WARNING!! Most GPS (if not ALL) will send you off course! Please follow our directions!
