Tucked up up and away on our hillside hollar here in the heart of the gorge, Split Rock is our newest off-grid cabin. Cozy, charming and in a VERY cool location up near the cliffline, we are so happy to offer you a chance to stay here in this peaceful retreat space.
To reach Split Rock, you will need to drive up a bumpy and steep gravel road, so AWD or 4WD vehicles are highly recommended. If you would like to park at our main office and walk up you are more than welcome to ~ the hike would be about 0.75 uphill miles.
From the private parking space for Split Rock, you'll ascend one flight of exterior stairs to reach the front porch and cabin. Inside tall windows and a functional woodstove make the sitting area extra-cozy and bright. There is a small and simple kitchen cooking area and table tucked underneath the sleeping loft. If you ascend further to the sleeping loft, you'll be greeted by custom crafted stained glass art and a space so great and comfortable you'll simply have to take an extra afternoon nap!
*IMPORTANT* This cabin has battery operated lanterns and natural lighting. This shelter does not have regular electricity, but will have lanterns for your use. Split Rock's kitchen will be equipped 2 5-gallon jugs of potable water at the kitchen sink. There is no regular running water in the cabin or outhouse. There is no hot tub for use at this cabin.
*IMPORTANT* There is no flush toilet or shower located at Split Rock. There is a composting outhouse located approximately 35' from the cabin's front door and if you would like to use our guest bathroom down at our main office, you are welcome to come anytime, 24/7 for a hot shower or use of a standard flush toilet.
*IMPORTANT* The futon has a special mattress that a divide down the middle- so it's in 2 sections. It is most comfortable to sleep on one of the sides (so we recommend one adult or two children could sleep on it comfortably).
