Guest access
The journey to cabins ends with an hour long dirt road. Please note: WINTER ROAD COND>Due to recent snow fall we lost access to the Elk Mt. Road- toward Upper Lake. Access thru Potter Valley is open. We Suggest all incoming guests come in thru Potter Valley off of Hwy 20 not Upper Lake area. Our area remains in great condition along with the lake shore and Elk Habitats *****YOU MUST HAVE VERY RELIABLE CAR WITH TIRES IN GOOD CONDITION and some CLEARANCE FROM Dec-APRIL. AWD or 4WD HIGHLY recommended but not mandatory. We are located in the Lake Pillsbury Ranch Community. It's made up of a couple hundred homes (mostly vacation cabins). Very spacious and community oriented. Our property is the largest and most spacious parcel in the community. Miles of country roads and creeks to walk along. Surrounded by almost one million acres of Mendocino National Forest land. There is a blend of paved and dirt roads in the area. Some areas good for road bikes and some for mountain bikes. We have access for our guests to the local pond(April-Mid-August) shared only with small community. ***Always do your own research of region prior to arrival. All seasons are very different and so are the activities. Do not expect a very accessible lakeshore in September. Also, hard to spot wildlife during heatwaves and crowded holiday weekends. Pets must be on leash and cleaned up after- Ranch Rules also have a leash law during summer months. Lakes, Creeks and Rivers surround you. Only a 15 minute drive to the Lake Pillsbury Basin from cabin. 45 minute drive to the top of Hull Mountain. A quick walk to the pond and creek within the gates. Winding country roads for great views and wildlife sightings. Access to Polo Field for fetch with your pet or AMAZING Star Gazing at night.
