The journey to The Nest is all paved roads until you turn on the gravel access road leading back 1.2 miles to the cabin. It will have various inclines, common mountain road bumps and turns to reach the top of the mountain. The road is wider than most entrance roads and provides several pull off areas for other vehicles. For inexperienced mountain drivers, AWD or 4WD is recommended.

It is located in a mountain neighborhood with most of the cabins being occupied year round. It is a very private location with no one behind you but it does have a cabin across the entrance road and to your left.

Driving tips:
-Do not turn the curves sharp - stay to the high side
-Remove traction control
-Maintain steady speed
-Put vehicle in lower gear
