On site parking is limited to one vehicle and there is additional parking a few hundred yards away.

Guests have access to everything except for the basement and the shed behind the home.

Guests must be able to walk up and down a few stairs to get into the home. There is a flight of stairs up to the main bedrooms. The home is adjacent to the oldest home in Middlebury and that home, unfortunately, is unoccupied. At certain times of year, it is unsightly but not dangerous.

The home is in the heart of Middlebury, within yards of the legendary restaurant, Fire & Ice, as well as one block from Middlebury's classic town green and countless shops and restaurants. From the home you can walk to shops, restaurants, grocery stores, and every service you could possibly need including post office and banks. With its stately brick and stone buildings along the gently sloping town green and cascading falls of the Otter Creek, Middlebury is a must-see destination for culture, shopping, recreation and overnight stays. You can easily walk to the College campus, and the train station is only one block away. There are two churches nearby and when the church bells ring they can be heard in the cottage.

The home has a small parking area that is just in front of the home and is barely off the street. Parking more than one car would be very difficult. However, there is ample public parking nearby at the base of Methodist Lane, some of which is not allowed for overnight and some of which is allowed for overnight.
