Peaceful location
The large property is very nice with great views and peaceful solitude.
There were several issues we encountered.
Road not cleared: There were 12 inches of snow before we arrived. We attempted to drive the road but got stuck. We had to park our car in town for the week as it would not make the road to the house. We stopped a neighbor and he agreed to drive us up to the house with our luggage. He made 2 trips. His 4 wheel drive in low gear struggled. When I advised the owner of this situation, the only response was “Welcome”.
My family was showing up the next day. We found a phone number in the pantry for someone to plow. He couldn’t make it for a few hours so I found the keys and the on-site snow plow and plowed the road myself. Even with the road plowed it was a struggle to make the half mile drive. There were also 6-12 inches of snow on the sidewalks, patios and steps. We removed that as well.
Food restrictions: Since there is no close grocery store, we purchased all groceries for the week prior to arrival. When we arrived there was a note in the kitchen stating no cooking of meat. Fish ok. There was no mention of this restriction prior to arrival.
Sleeping arrangements: The listing states 2 beds are in a loft but fails to mention you will have to climb a 10 foot ladder for access.
Thermostats: They are all set on 68 with a note on each stating “Please Do Not Touch”. Most of the rooms were too hot especially when the sun shined in.
