Nestled in the mountains in Mount Pleasant is a secluded forest and home that is perfect for gatherings and corporate retreats. Upon crossing the covered bridge over Pleasant Creek you enter your own private 35 acres forest with secluded walking/snow shoeing trails and mountain views. The home includes a large kitchen that comfortably seats 24, a great room, two dedicated game rooms, bedrooms that sleep 35, a playground, decks with amazing views, a private cottage, and access to Skyline Drive for off-roading and snowmobiling (do an internet search for skyline snowmobile map, we are right off the reference road leaving East from Mount Pleasant. Some park at Powerplant park and snowmobile up to Skyline Drive, while others use the highway to access snowmobile parking lots).

Winter Conditions: Mid December through March. Plan for the roads to be covered in snow. Many snowmobile up pleasant creek road to Skyline Drive (internet search skyline snowmobile map, see page 2). In the winter, we recommend parking trailers and two wheel drive vehicles at Power Plant Park. You may drive snowmobiles up to the property on the snow-packed road.
This is an awesome time to sled on or off the property. Children love playing outside and building snow forts. Snow shoeing is also be a fun activity (in the garage there are 9 pairs of snow shoes 6 adult and 3 junior snow shoes that you can use during your stay). There is are several trails on the property that you can explore, our favorite is hiking up the trail and then back through a few feet of powdery snow following the creek that flows through the property.
The city plows the road that passes the driveway, but the driveway will be covered in packed snow. We STRONGLY RECOMMEND four-wheel drive (ideally with snow tires or chains) while on the property because there is a small hill exiting the property that can be challenging for two-wheel drive vehicles or cars with poor tire tread to exit (see pictures for winter conditions). The recent atmospheric river has dropped a lot of snow in Mount Pleasant. Given the current weather conditions, I would encourage you to have any guests WITHOUT four-wheel drive vehicle with winter tires or chains to park in town or at the power plant park (1/4 mile from the property entrance) and be shuttled by those who have 4WD vehicles.
