Directions

From Ennis (most direct route) - 4WD/High clearance Vehicle strongly recommended. Road may become impassable when wet!! Take State Highway 287 towards Virginia City. About 1/4 mile east of MM11 (or 3/4 mile west of MM10) turn south into the paved parking area near the top of Virginia City Hill. Pass through the gate with the cattle guard at the west end of the parking area. Proceed 3.1 miles on the dirt road (blind corners exist). The road will descend a very steep hill and intersect with another road. Turn Left (east) at the intersection. Go 0.7 miles, and the cabin will be on the right (south) side of the road. There will be a locked gate to mark the 0.25 mile driveway. If you come to the Twin Lakes parking area and vault latrine, you've gone too far. Turn around and drive back up to the gate.

Beautiful area

I have not had the pleasure of renting the cabin, but I have seen it while riding in the area. It's a lookout cabin; so it stands high on stilts to watch for fires. I have ridden some of the trails and it's a beautiful place to ride deep in the forest surrounding the lake. The trails are clearly visable and very easy to ride. It was a beautiful place for a picnic.
