The paved parking area in front of the cabin has room for two cars.
After dark, the cabin is plenty bright. Although not closed in this photo, each window has hung in it a no-string blind for privacy.
This is the beginning of the very short uphill dead-end road leading up to the cottage. There are only four homes on the road. Right behind where this photo was taken is the French Broad River and the future Ecusta Trail.
