    🌄 Access & Winter Travel Notes
    Reaching this breathtaking mountaintop retreat comes with just a short stretch of scenic driving approximately 1.7 miles of well-maintained gravel road leading to the home. This road is easily navigable most of the year; however, during winter months, 4-wheel drive is required and snow chains are strongly recommended (many rental companies can provide them upon request).
    Please plan to drive slowly—about 5–10 mph on curves—and be mindful of wildlife, as deer, elk, and antelope frequently cross the roads. And in true Montana spirit, don’t forget to wave at neighbors you pass, it’s part of local charm!

    ❄️ Snow Plowing
    We ensure the driveway is plowed and accessible for your arrival day. Once checked in, any additional plowing during your stay or upon your departure is the guest’s responsibility. The HOA maintains plowing of the main access roads and surrounding community.
    Recommended snow plow service contacts are posted inside the home. We advise reaching out early if a storm is forecasted during your stay so service can be scheduled in advance.

    Uber, Lyft, and public transportation are not available in Paradise Valley; however, you can easily find local drivers for hire with a simple online search.

    🐾 Pets Welcome
    We happily allow up to 3 well-behaved pets with an additional pet fee of $20 per pet, per night. Please make sure to select the correct number of pets at the time of booking so Airbnb can automatically include the fee.
    If pets are added after booking, or if the number changes, please notify us right away so we can send a reservation adjustment via email for the accurate total. Pet Fee will be added as a "Reservation Alteration" and sent to your email. Please accept the Reservation Alteration promptly so everything is documented correctly.

    🔐 Damage Protection & Verification
    To help ensure a safe and worry-free stay for everyone, we have partnered with Truvi, the leading guest-verification platform. Before your stay begins, you will receive a secure link to verify your booking details and ID.
    At that time, you will be given two options for property protection:
    • A refundable deposit, or
    • A $35 non-refundable damage waiver that provides up to $1,000 coverage for accidental damage
    This protects both our guests and our property, and streamlines any unexpected issues.
