Conseils aux voyageurs
Que faut-il apporter ?
What to pack
We provide all of the essentials and then some! We provide linens (including hot tub towels), disposable paper products, bath products, cleaning products, some disposable kitchen items (foil, salt & pepper, olive oil, basic spices, coffee & tea), and games & cards. If you plan to ski/snow tube- plan to dress for the cold (the wind can get ya!), if you plan to hike- plan to dress for anything (cold, hot, wet, dry), and if you plan to chill by the fire and stare at the mountains (pack some socks- we have plenty of throw blankets though).
Se déplacer dans les environs
Up, up, and more up
Pie in the Sky is located at the top of a mountain. It takes about ten minutes to get to the main road. The roads are well-maintained and not scary if you take them slow. All that said- plan to go to the grocery store on your way in if you can. If you can't- no big deal. We do provide some kcups and tea to get you started and usually leave a light snack in case you arrive without groceries and want to wait until the morning.
Réservez avant de partir
Book beforehand
We recommend getting reservations beforehand at any of the places we LOVE- Speckled Trout, Gamekeeper, Over Yonder. We also HIGHLY recommend getting reservations if you plan to snow tube at Hawksnest. They sell out most weekends.
