The house is an easy 7 minute walk into the village center. Grocery store is a 5 minute walk. The pellet stove was very nice to have in the evening when the temperature dropped in the 40s. There is a very nice laundry room with washer and dryer, including a large drying rack. We cook dinner most evenings, so the large kitchen was a pleasure. Note that the knives are very dull. We had to purchase a knife to cut vegetables!
