Cons:
There were two leaks in the house that we noticed the first night (living room window and the cabinet above the sink). The handyman came by but couldn’t do anything due to heavy snow.
Sliding door window shade was detached and on the floor
Walkway and driveway were obviously not maintained or pre-treated with salt, had to keep shoveling a walkway to the house which is far from driveway.
Driveway gets very icy and steep incline makes it hard to get out. This impacted our plans due to car getting stuck
Snow blower was not working and no way to charge it due to missing electric cord
Pretty obvious no one lives here
There was no snow melt or salt even though that was supposed to be provided.
Cabin was obviously not prepared and equipped for blizzards even though it happens frequently during the winter season. The cabin should have been more prepared. We had to go out and buy a lot of things due to lack of preparation.
We were told we could only park one car in the garage the day before the trip since the other half is for storage
There is a plow service that takes care of the snow in the driveway if it is free of cars. We were not made aware of this service which meant that the driveway was not plowed for the first day and a half. Afterwards because we couldn’t fit the second car in the garage we had to shovel several times each day. We came during a bad storm but over the course of a 3 day stay we spent over 6 hours shoveling.
