Current owner does not support trespassing. Best to view from the road.
[A S Mielniczuk, 07/17/2014]Beautiful little building -- does not appear to be open to the public -- but you can see quite well from the (seasonal) road. There's a fence along Milkhouse Road posted with "No Trespassing" signs.
The builder's wife, in a newer home close to the road, did give us permission to look around the outside of the church. She said inside is in bad shape. On her husband: "He was a wonderful artist, but not much of an architect."

There is a small Russian Orthodox Church built by hand. The individual who built it also lived in a small house behind the structure by a waterfall. It's quite beautiful.
