What is the road to Jardine like?

The Jardine road is an improved gravel road. Your vehicle will get covered in dust while driving the road. In the winter, the road is plowed right to Jardine Retreat. In the winter, snow tires are highly recommended, or a 4WD or AWD with good all season tires. The county does not currently have as many road maintenance employees as they once did, and maintenance costs are higher these days, so they are not quite as on top of maintaining the road as they once were. There are often potholes in addition to the usual washboards. You just need to make sure to go a little slower in a few spots at times. Please contact Zondra for the most up-to-date road conditions.

Will my cell phone work in Jardine?

Only if you have Verizon, or a phone that uses Verizon towers.

We now have WiFi!!!! We didn't have WiFi until the end of 2022. You may not have had WiFi last time you stayed here, but you'll be able to stay connected on your next stay. Speed is usually around 25 Mbps.

Do you have a fire pit or BBQ grill?

Sorry, but there is no fire pit. Although located in a beautiful location, with great views out the windows, and recreational opportunities on public land, the lot that the cottage sits on is small, and there is no space for ​a fire pit. There is a BBQ grill that can be provided upon request.

Do you allow pets?

We do not normally allow pets at the Jardine Retreat Cottage. Winters have special exceptions - please inquire with Zondra to discuss options.

Can I drink the tap water at the Cottage?

Absolutely. Not only do we have fresh mountain well water, it is also run through an additional filtration system. Bring your own water bottle to fill up and avoid wasting disposable plastic water bottles.

How far from the Cottage do I have to go to get a massage?
