Our community road is maintained year-round and our driveway is motorcyclists friendly and has pretty much flat access. Parking area will easily fit 4 cars. Main source of heat for the home is electric with gas fireplace and heater as backup. Sorry, no wi-fi because it is not available in this area. All 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom are located on first floor. Living room, Dining Room/Kitchen, Laundry room, Game Room and 2-nd bathroom are on second floor.
