WORK FROM HOME SETUP Three desk setups across the bedrooms and office (one with an external monitor) plus fast business-grade WiFi designed to handle multiple simultaneous video calls. Several guests have used the house as a productive remote-work base for a week or two — it's especially good in spring and fall when the trails are quiet and the rates are lower. ENTERTAINMENT Three smart TVs with Chromecasts for streaming, plus a 5.1 sound system in the living room. PARKING + EV CHARGING Space for 4 vehicles total: 2 in the garage, 2 in the driveway. Level 2 EV charger in the garage — bring the EV and top up overnight.
