He works seasonally with his former business, ZoomBikes, still servicing e-bike customers here at the carport for tune ups and consulting. Guest access You are welcome to walk the lawn and paths around the fields or access the nearby cross country trails in the winter. The barn is not accessible to our guests as it is mostly equipment storage, machinery, and has no cute animals to pet. Enjoy a walk on our new "Bluebird Loop", a mowed path through fields and woods. This trail is accessible across the lawn from the back deck and is marked with signs which start at the bluebird house. Peek inside and maybe see mama on the nest or hear some babies, bluebirds are pretty comfortable around humans. This is a little over a half mile and may take about 25 minutes. It will take you around the perimeter of the property and you may see wildlife such as deer, groundhogs, wild turkey, and past the apiary. Other things to note Heat: Vermont weather may bring cooler evening temperatures and winter snow. Stay cozy with a cup of tea and use the mini split/heat pump heating unit on the Heat setting and adjust the temperature. For extra warmth, find a duvet or extra blankets, and a portable heater in the bedroom closet. A thermostat for baseboard heat is available for back up when it is really cold. Cooling system: There is a "mini-split" system which can be adjusted to the Cool setting and temperature in order to feel like air conditioning.

Please make sure to close windows when leaving and forecast calls for rain.
