A vehicle is required. There is no public transportation, and nothing is within walking distance beyond the acreage itself. Rideshare and delivery services are very limited in this rural area, so please do not plan on relying on them. Cell service can be spotty, so we recommend downloading offline maps before you leave Grand Rapids. Please watch for deer on rural roads, especially at dawn and dusk. In winter, the driveway is plowed after large snowfalls. Area roads may still be snow-covered, so please allow extra travel time and check conditions before you head out.
