The walk to the top of the property may be closed due to guests staying at "Eagles Rest" another rental we have up there. You get great mountain views at sunset. (Mt Warning or Woolumbin) There are some other trails for you to take as well. It is best to walk up the drive and Gaily or I can give you directions. There are no fences for your pets so they will have to stay close to you. Starlink has given us unlimited high-speed Internet. TV is also satellite.
