The parking area for the neighbors is visible from Hygge. The land to the south of Hygge is adjacent to Caywood Point, part of the Finger Lakes National Forest. Hiking in that direction is suggested. The land to the north of Hygge is privately owned. Sounds carry on the lake, please be mindful. Hygge accommodates parking for 3 vehicles. Like much of the lake front homes in our area, the terrain is rugged. The road to Hygge is steep and has several sharp turns, we recommend AWD or 4WD. Please drive slowly and with caution.
