L'Ours Haus is located in the Stillwater tracts area. Please take State Hwy Rd 34 to CR 4, (between the horse-elk statues and the "Highway 34 Storage" business.) Go west on CR 4 about two miles. Then take a left onto CR 451. There is a wood post with a bunch of names/signs on it. Follow the 1st white arrow with a Bear Paw on it for L'Ours Haus.

Once you turn on CR 451 go a little more than a block to a fork. There is a 2nd white arrow on this post with many other painted signs. Stay right of the fork, passing a driveway. A few feet up the dirt road is the 3rd Bear Paw white arrow sign (w/a sign Surratt) on a wire fence. Turn right. Go up the little bumpy dirt road, about 200 yds. There is a little Bear holding another sign as you come to our driveway. L'Ours Haus is on the right of the cul-de-sac.
