Other things to note We don't control Mother Nature, the cottage is in the country. Please be aware the short driveway and parking area is plowed in the winter, we recommend All Wheel Drive during the snow/ice season. Walkways and driveway can be slippery during inclement winter weather. Original interior staircase is steep. We do not allow large parties, filming projects or additional overnight guests. No portable hot tubs allowed. Do not leave belongings in the basement, during heavy rains the basement gets wet, drain in the floor. In summer the small window and outside door should remain open. Please do not rearrange furnishings. There have been local sightings of bear and deer, turkeys, etc. Simply be aware and respectful, life in the country can be a real treat for nature observers. If you use up any foodstuffs, etc, common sense, you should replace, thanks. NYSEG rates have soared, thus rates increase.
