IMPORTANT WINTER BOOKING INFORMATION
In the event of snowy or icy conditions, our driveway becomes extremely challenging for vehicles. If wintry weather is expected, we require that you park at the top of our driveway and walk down to the house. We provide snowshoes and trekking poles. It is possible that you will need to walk (or snowshoe) along a short steep path from the parking area to the house. It's an adventure!

Because our property is in a rural, wooded setting, wildlife, insects and ticks may be present. Tick activity is elevated across the Northeast, so please take normal precautions when spending time outdoors.
