Food scene
Nikola's has awesome Italian food. Visiting is like stepping back into the 80's but the service is great and food is delish. She prefers you call ahead when possible.
Note: They are typically open from March through October.

In the Winter months
In the Winter months (Dec through March), winter weather can drop in without much warning. The driveway to our property is very steep (as our other roads in High Meadows). If precipitation and below freezing temps are expected, a four wheel drive vehicle is almost a must!
Some of our winter guests have had to park at the top of our driveway and "hike" in during winter storms.
