A “Ski House” unless it snows.
The listing states you need 4WD/AWD and the steep driveway can cause issues in snow. We go to VT every year to ski, so this is not new and we were prepared for some inconvenience. We had snow forecasted for our weekend yay! Started 3pm Saturday. Two of us left at 7am on Sunday to ski. The others planned to snowmobile at 1 but couldn’t bc of the driveway. The owner assured us that the plow was coming. When the skiers returned 3, they couldn’t make it up the unplowed driveway. So we had to dig a trench out of the icy snowbank to safely park on the road. Not a weekend activity on our bingo card. The plow didn’t show up until 6pm, 24 hours after the storm began. Skiing again the next morning, we had to hike down the icy driveway to spend an hour digging the car back out of the trench bc it got plowed in. When told of our experiences, the owner replied that he “warned us” and he’s not in control of the plows. For reference, a group of our friends stayed 10 min away and had no issues because their plow came 3 times. We were offered a 20% discount on a FUTURE stay for our troubles. We’d never risk staying here again, so that offer means nothing. Guess this happens often which is why the owner opted not to compensate us for our current stay. Book this place cautiously - there are plenty of similar houses in the area that you won’t have to dig yourself out of.
