It’s still usable but a little inconvenient. Not to worry! We have an additional freezer that is in the dining room that has 3.5 Sq ft of space. •You may hear the heating system through the closet during the winter months in the 3rd bedroom, but I’ve provided a white noise machine if it bothers you. •You will have to go through the 3rd bedroom to get to the bathroom if you are sleeping in the 4th bedroom •I recommend spreading out showers. Hot water is limited when there are large groups, and it takes a bit to warm back up when it runs out. •When there is snow and ice on the deck it is off limits •You’ll have AT&T and some T-Mobile phone service in the area but you’ll also have service through wifi. Verizon is spotty in the area, I do have a Verizon booster in the house that occasionally doesn’t work and needs to be unplugged and plugged back in. Most providers now allow wifi calling and I have 100 MBPS super-fast fiber optic internet Wi-Fi. •Professional lawn care and maintenance usually comes every few weeks when weather permits. The lawn is very large and hilly so it takes a lot of work so it is quite frequently worked on to maintain it. The lawn company doesn’t give me a heads up when they come but they work fast. •The faucet water is safe to drink. •The house is located high up on a hill above a well-maintained road with privacy from the raod but you will hear cars from time to time. •Included utilities are noted in our listing. We are not responsible for lack of their availability due to acts of God, service reductions or interruptions, power outages, or equipment breakdowns beyond our control. When power outages Occur during big storms from a tree falling on an electrical line for instance. “Green Mountain Power” promptly fixes the power, Usually between 1-2 hours. •The driveway is professionally plowed and sanded when needed in the winter months but I recommend a 4 wheel drive car to get up the winding driveway when it is snowing. There are two sharp turns. You can park at the bottom of the driveway if necessary. Please make sure you are out of the way on the right side as close to the sign as possible so the plow truck can get by. •There are 2 flat screen smart TVs. One in the living room and one in a bedroom directly underneath! •We apologize if linens/towels are still drying upon your arrival. Us Doing linens and towels on site allows the cleaning fee to be at least $20 less expensive for you.
