OUTHOUSE 🧻
There is no standard bathroom in the Sugar Shack. Guests have access to a hand-built outhouse located approximately 200ft from their lodging.
WATER 💦
No running water but plenty of cool, clean (& delicious) water provided.
THE ROAD 🚗
The road in is a 1.7 mile maintained seasonal dirt road. We do recommend four wheel or all-wheel drive in the winter. It can be icy, bumpy, slushy, snowy and unpredictable! We will always communicate if and when the conditions are unfavorable **
EXPECT 🦟❄️
If travelling in the winter, expect snow. If travelling in the summer, expect bugs. These are the likely obstacles of our environment, and a fair trade off for living in such a unique and beautiful place.
