Before you come:

• WINTER: snow tires AND AWD or 4WD car/truck recommended (roads are hilly and can be snowy especially during a storm. A Prius with all season tires will NOT get up the hills during a storm.
• Be prepared for storms and bring extra food/supplies. (Pack a cooler with at least a days worth of food.)
• If you want, set your phone up for “wifi calling” BEFORE you come to Vermont. AT&T and Verizon both work well at the cabin, but service may be sketchy in the mountains and backroads, though.)

You should bring:

• Food, beverages, coffee, etc. (With the exception of a couple restaurants in Waitsfield, most ones nearby are closed Mondays and Tuesdays)
• Bathing suits (optional, but hot tub is usable year round)
• Netflix, Amazon Prime or other streaming service codes
• Flashlights/headlamps (we provide some, but may not be charged)
• Sunscreen, bug repellent
• Walking shoes/boots

• Sweater/jackets (it’s cooler in the mountains)
• Snow pants (if winter)
• Firewood and newspaper/paper/cardboard for fire pit (there is some of wood on the property, but best to bring some dry wood with you)
• WINTER: snow tires AND AWD or 4WD car/truck recommended (roads are hilly and can be snowy)
• Also, be prepared for storms and bring extra food/supplies. Check the forecast before you come (see link on right of page). You don’t want to go out in a blizzard as even regular storms can make the roads impassable.
