Comfortable space & close to Stratton but driveway needs better plowing
2 families stayed together (4 adults and 4 kids so 8 people total). There were enough beds and bedrooms and the main living/dining area with fireplace was a great hangout spot for everyone. The views are really pretty! The kitchen and bathrooms were a bit rustic but definitely worked for the basics. The house worked well with the exception of the driveway. We were told the driveway would be plowed but that a specific time could not be guaranteed so we were prepared. Upon arrival the first night, the driveway did not look plowed well but it was good enough to pull in. We both had 4WD SUVs and both had major trouble on our last day getting out of the driveway because the driveway had not been plowed properly during the snowstorm that ensued for the previous 24 hours. Both SUVs got stuck in the deep snow and we had to wait 3 hours for a local tow company to come and winch the cars out of the driveway. One car sustained major damage (bent tire rod) from the tow out of the driveway so severe that we couldn’t drive the car down the Stratton access road and had to wait another 2 hours for a different tow truck to bring our car to a local repair shop. We ended up having to book 2 extra nights at a hotel in the area (black bear lodge) to wait for our car to get fixed. This was all complicated by the poor cell service and total lack of transportation options in the local area. We called about 10 different taxi/car services with no luck and the repair shop guy drove us to the hotel.
