There are two ways to access Pumpkin Rim Retreat – G Maps will try to send you up Cram Hill Road, which looks shorter, but will almost certainly leave you with at least one flat tire, possibly four. It’s not worth it! You’ve been warned :) • Bouvant Road: Pumpkin Rim Retreat is located at the end of a class four road, (Bouvant Road) which means it is narrow, windy, sometimes steep, and privately maintained. While all-wheel drive is recommended but not required, slow, careful and respectful driving IS required. As there is only one other house on Bouvant Road, traffic is very limited, but please make use of the pull-off points if you meet a car – cars coming down the hill should yield to those coming up. The first 100 feet is a steep uphill followed by a sharp turn to the right. PLEASE HONK YOUR HORN AS YOU APPROACH THE SHARP RIGHT-HAND TURN TO ALERT ON-COMING TRAFFIC. • Power: The cabins at Pumpkin Rim retreat are off-grid but have solar power and gas-powered appliances and heating. There is a backup generator in case of overcast weather. You will be able to keep your food cold in the refrigerator, use the oven, take a hot water shower, charge your devices, and stay cozy warm. • Children welcome: Children are most welcome! The cabins at Pumpkin Rim Retreat are well equipped with books, blocks, indoor and outdoor games, puzzles, water toys and kid friendly cutlery. • Accessibility: Please note that Pumpkin Rim Retreat is not handicap accessible. This is a rustic setting with uneven ground, stairs, and a sleeping loft accessed by a ladder. This property may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility. • Wildlife: Please note that Pumpkin Rim Retreat shares this beautiful mountain top with one family of lovely neighbors and wildlife! You may see birds, foxes, deer, and possibly even a black bear! While our animal kingdom friends generally steer clear of humans, please be respectful and keep a safe distance. • Trash, recycling & compost: Respecting our forest friends (mentioned above) means managing and disposing of trash and food properly. A compost bin for food scraps can be found under the sink in the kitchen. Please make sure the lid of the compost bin is tightly closed at all times. Please empty trash, recycling, and compost in the labeled bins beside the power shed and make sure bin lids are closed tightly. • The puzzlery: OMG, we love puzzles!
