Cleaning Fee:
We do not charge a cleaning fee, so long as the cabin is left in the same condition (cleaned) as it was upon arrival. If the cabin is left uncleaned, a $50 penalty will be charged from the damage deposit. Remember to pack out your garbage.
Please be kind and leave some dry kindling inside for the next guests.
Summer access:
The road to the cabin is a paved road with the last mile as gravel. There is an unmaintained gravel hill just before the cabin which is rough and can be particularly tricky after heavy rainfall.
WARNING - Rough Road Conditions: This spring the North Shore experienced unprecedented snow melt and rainfall. As such Tower road has significantly degraded and is in a long queue for repairs. Until improved, a high clearance vehicle is required to drive up. Access to the cabin in this case is walk-up. Consider the use of a kids/garden wagon for your supplies. There are two designated parking areas located approx. 200 yards after you turn onto Tower Rd. There is an open area, on the right-hand side (north side) of the maintained road, and there is a second parking area on the left-hand side just a few yards up. From here, the walk-up is approximately 1.2 miles or 30-45min, mostly uphill. You will get hot!
Winter access:
Access to the cabin once there is snow on the ground is via snowshoeing or walking. Consider the use of a plastic kids sled to help carry in your supplies.
When there is snow, the road stops being plowed part way up. When this is the case, there is a plowed parking area approx 200 yards after you turn onto Tower Rd. It is an open area, on the right-hand side (north side) of the maintained road. From here, the walk up is approximately 1.2 miles or 30-45min, mostly uphill. The road is plowed for a bit longer past the parking, but parking should be in this open area.
In cold winter temperatures, the walk up when required can be quite a challenge. Dress accordingly, come prepared, and recognize that the woodfired heat can take a few hours for the cabin to warm up upon your arrival. It's all worth it though!
We highly recommend you arrive in the daylight - it will make your way up to the cabin much nicer, it is a beautiful walk up.
Network Service: There is no wifi. T-mobile and Verizon receive limited cell reception at the cabin.
Sauna Liability: Please note that guests use the sauna at their own risk.
Perfect for solo adventurers and couples willing to pack-in/pack-out. There isn't running water or a cleaner. Your ability to ‘Pay it Forward’ and leave the place as you found it is fundamental to maintaining an affordable experience in a healthy space for the next folks who are seeking a peaceful place to rest, create and rejuvenate.
*Kids stay free (12 years & under) - please notify us.
