WINTER MONTHS: The property is on a private road that gets plowed by a private contractor. Please be patient during storms for the road to be plowed. AWD or 4WD vehicles are highly recommended - other vehicles WILL NOT make it up our hill when there is snow/ice. Guests are responsible for the removal of snow/ice around the doorways and paths to the house and car during their stay if needed. There is a shovel and sand available for you to use. 2.

Stay on the gravel in the driveway and do not park on the grass or in the backyard. Parking on the road is not permitted. 3: SECURITY: There is one security camera facing the driveway. Since we are not located on site this is used as a security measure and for our liability. 4. We do not have a dishwasher. You are responsible for cleaning your own dishes during your stay. We also do not have space for a washer and dryer. There is a laundromat 8 miles away if needed. 5. CELL RECEPTION: Cell reception here isn't great!
