Put in the code given to you by host at time of booking. Drive onto property, immediately make a right by big bonfire pit and drive all the way up along the right side to the top of property where there is a bell tent and look for the parking signs marked with a "P". Park at any of these spots. Then walk 30 seconds through the forest and look down. You will see the colorful platforms. Pick whichever one you so desire.
