Winter Access
The fire route is a private road. It is maintained and plowed in the winter but it can get quite icy and there is a steep hill coming down to the cottage. A vehicle with four-wheel drive is required to get back up the hill in the winter. If you do not have four-wheel drive, there is a parking space plowed at the top of the hill you can use to park and walk down to the house.
