I would have them build you a road as good as the one they built for themselves.

Agreed, 100%. In writing is not enough. Sounds like some sort of easement is needed, for both parties.

There will be limitations on what they can do legally as the partial that we will need to drive on is not owned by them. They rent that field. But they can allow us to use it as long as they are renting it. Check your local laws. In some states that would constitute a unknowingly trespass citation if the land owner pushed it.

My wife and I have a nice plot of land with a little cabin. So we get back to it the other day to find that a neighboring farm that has land on 2 sides but does not connect decided to build a driveway across our land to connect their 2 fields. We were not incredibly impressed so we made a couple phone calls and had the field manager of the farm out in about 20 minutes.
We showed him the posted signs that they bulldozed and let him know that we weren't too happy that they did not even bother to call us about this project. He was very apologetic and asked what they could do to alleviate the situation. They really couldn't undo it, the trees were already bulldozed. No real value in the trees it was just a few apple trees on the edge of a old orchard. It was just the principal that they decided to install a sizable driveway on our land and operate their equipment across without permission.
In the end it seems we are going to let them continue to use the new driveway in exchange for a right away along the edge of their field to access the back of our property. There is no way to get vehicles to the cabin without going across there so it is a pretty good win for us. We now will have much better access to use our cabin more. Appears on the surface you handled this really well.

Is it a gravel driveway? Concrete? Asphalt? I would not be as nice as you. You got screwed, imo. I would continue getting to the cabin the same way you always have, and make them restore the land as it was. Giving you permission to use SOMEONE ELSE'S land? What a joke. I'd be getting a lawyer.

If they are just renting it they can’t give him squat really if you have a easement to get to the property then your golden then you want access to the other place let them build you a road on your property then your in control.

Make them put the trees back and restore all the grasses, weeds, as they were before. Or have them go the land owner and get me written easement to drive to my property. X2 I'd called the cops right away. As far as I'm concerned that's criminal damage. They had no right to destroy your property. The land owner they lease from could also be held liable from their tenants. You got screwed of your land.

I would first see if a legal easement (perpetual) can be done between owner of land. If not obtained I would get an attorney and he would have a hay day with your situation. Take pictures and document everything that has happened to date. You have a hole in one case and the upper hand in this issue.

You guys really believe kicking the hornets nest is the best way to handle this? OP has been crossing other peoples property to get to his cabin, now he should call the cops, don't get your logic. Yep build a bridge not a fence you will come out ahead.
