Getting Here

Address & How to Get In

Save this section — you'll want it in the car and again at the front door.

The Address

Street Address 807 Crystal Lake Way

Driving Directions If anyone in the car gets carsick, enter directions to Ukiah first, then to the house address. Google Maps will often suggest a very winding route to save about 10 minutes — routing through Ukiah avoids it.
Parking There's room for plenty of cars — just try not to block anyone in.

Once You're There

The Gate Ring the bell to the side of the gate, or roll it open yourself — just be sure to close it again.
