Important: Please note that in the winter months, we do require all cars to have 4WD or AWD and snow tires. We are not responsible for maintaining the town road as that is maintained by the town. The driveway will be plowed and sanded to Vermont standards which means it will not always be plowed for small amounts of snow. During winter, all private Vermont driveways do have a base cover of snow on them. It will also be sanded as needed or available, we cannot guarantee that this will be always sanded to the remote nature of the surrounding area and limited resources. That being said, any vehicle with 4WD and AWD and snow tires (not all season tires), will have no problem making their way to the property. We are not responsible for towing costs or damage to vehicles.
This home is not pet friendly.
The property is located close to Mount Ellen ski area at Sugarbush Resort in Fayston, VT.
