The Cabin is indeed on top of a mountain, in a safe and private community. The community has customary maintained mountain roads. It is a 1.7 mile road to the top, which has the usual switchbacks and appropriate steep grade. I climb this road routinely with my 4 cylinder, front wheel drive Toyota Corolla. Renters with hybrids have climbed the road. Small rear-wheel drive pick-up trucks do not do well.
