The house sits quite a distance off the main road. The sign Hobby House Hill is next to our gravel driveway. When you arrive, please pull your car on to the cement driveway where you will be able to unload your supplies onto rolling carts.

We do recommend you are careful about your speed on US-287, particularly as you pass through Decatur.
