Important Details:
Reaching a mountain retreat requires navigating a mountain road: The drive up is a quintessential mountain experience. The 1.5-mile gravel road is well maintained, but it can be narrow or steep in spots—take it slow, enjoy the ride, and we recommend AWD or 4WD during the snowy months.

Bring Your Dogs! We adore dogs at Moonlight—they are always welcome to join the adventure. We do ask that you let us know how many furry friends will be joining. Due to severe owner allergies, cats are not permitted.
