We have provided two shovels at the property one By the front door and the other by the back door. If you were at the property during a snowstorm you would utilize the shovel to shovel off the deck.

Parking
We have a flat gravel driveway that you could park two average-sized vehicles on. In the winter months if it is snowing you will be required to park on the driveway and not the road. This is to ensure that the snowplow vehicles can plow the road daily around 3 PM. This might require shoveling snow on the driveway to access a parking spot. We want to make sure you don't receive a hefty ticket from the city.

In the winter months, we provide a hand full of fire starter sticks to help start a fire in the woodstove. If you are not familiar with making a fire we recommend that you bring up extra kindling. That could be fire starter sticks, old magazines, or newspapers. We do not provide firewood. There are several markets and gas stations that sell bundles of wood close to the cabin.
