Our stay at Jeff’s Long River House was marred by issues with winter access and property maintenance. When we arrived, the driveway was still unplowed from a snowstorm two days prior, and we were unable to access the property. After it was eventually plowed the next evening, Jeff’s son Nick promised that it would be sanded in the morning. Morning arrived, and we were unable to drive out of the property because the icy driveway had been neither salted nor sanded. After six hours being stuck indoors, Nick finally returned to sand and salt the driveway, and we were able to leave safely.We are no strangers to Vermont winters, and other house rentals we have stayed at in the area have always arranged for regular plowing and sanding to ensure safe access for guests. Jeff, however, apparently had never made such arrangements, and chose instead to blame access issues on us, even though we were able to drive in and out perfectly fine once the sanding had been completed.Due to the lack of timely winter maintenance and the way our concerns were handled, we cannot recommend this property, particularly for winter stays where safe access is essential.
