Arriving from Carbondale: Turn onto Dogwood Road from Giant City Road. Drive 2.5 miles on Dogwood Road-- you will pass two small bridges and encounter five to seven distinct turns/bends before arriving at our house. We are the brown house on the right-hand side with the ‘Bigfoot National Forest’ sign in front of it. Our home is just past the junction of Lamb Road and just before the junction of Cabin Hill Road. If traveling at night, watch out for deer because they are everywhere.
Parking: Park in the driveway: 1) in front of our attached shed (the part with a small pull-down door on the left side of the house) or 2) anywhere to the right of the main garage (please make sure we can get cars in and out of the garage).
Access: You can enter the house either from the back (walking around) or from the door next to the garage. We will provide keys for both doors when you arrive.
Our dog: Kiwi is a small Pembroke Welsh Corgi and will be out about at random times. She has quite the scary bark but is super friendly and loves attention.
