• 4WD is strongly recommended year-round
• AWD with quality tires is typically sufficient in normal conditions
• AWD and 2WD vehicles should carry snow chains during winter months

Vehicle choice and preparedness are the responsibility of the guest. We are not liable for issues related to improper vehicle selection or lack of snow chains.
Winter Conditions
During winter months:
• The county maintains and plows main roads
• We have a local plow service that maintains the driveway
• Ice melt is provided at the home for guest use
Mountain weather can change quickly. Even when main roads are clear, shaded areas may have snow or ice.
Unless there are major road closures or severe weather events that physically prevent access to the property, we are unable to offer refunds due to driving discomfort, vehicle limitations, or navigation errors.
