Unfortunately, the day we arrived at the rental, there had been a big snow storm & the house had a down hill drive way. It had been dragged with a snow plow, but it was a sheet of ice, so we had to park at the top on the street. However, we had not been there 30 minutes before a maintenance man showed up with his son & poured dirt & gravel over the ice so the driveway could be used. They went out of their way to help us. His son helped my husband unpack the car, which was at the top of the hill. We have a Sienna van, & it was fully packed. Unfortunately, as most of you remember, the unusual big snow fall & frigid weather was during this week of Christmas. Another big snow came after we were there, & of course, the dirt & gravel on the driveway was covered with ice again. We managed with our cars ok. Under the circumstances, the owner did everything she could to make it workable for us. The house had 3 different heating systems, & we stayed warm & toasty inside! We very much enjoyed staying here. I have to say our family of 10 had a lot of quality time together during this Christmas week. Will plan to stay there again. The young people & 2 dogs had fun on the frozen lake!
