Needs warning about driving in winter
Our actual stay was good and the locatuon beautiful. There was a small delay getting in as the code for the lockbox was missing in the instructional email but I recieved it once I walked back up the hill to get a phone signal and reached the owner by phone. Cell phone service is minimal but the wifi works great. The cottage had all amenities as described and was comfortable and warm.However, this location should really state that during winter it is only accessible by 4x4 vehicle. The dirt road was snowy and slushy and very slippery with an inclined driveway down to the cottage. When leaving in the snow and with our car that was not four wheel drive we were unable to make it up the hill to leave and got stuck. We had winter tires and both were used to driving in winter but could not get the traction needed. We ended up having to call CAA to get towed up the hill, but the tow truck couldnt even come down to the cottage.In the end the owner sent their maintenance guy who we pad 80 and who was able to hook a towing line to our car and tow us up the hill with his 4x4 vehicle. It took us 2½hrs to get out.Overall, we did enjoy our stay but for the safety of future guests it should be stated that 4x4 vehicles are mandatory. The owner's communication was prompt.
