Arrived during a huge winter storm…

Driveway was plowed, walkway shoveled and the house was clean and warm. The thermostat never seemed to work, but the temp stayed above 60. Wood stove was wonderful. Great place, tons of room and all the amenities. Great water pressure and tons to do in the area.
