The rural area makes a car necessary for getting to the farmhouse and around the area. The farmhouse is located on a main road (Route 5) two miles from the center of the town where the store and other community services are located. ATV, snowmobile and horse trails can be accessed from or near the house. Our other properties have direct access to some of the trails and we can arrange for private parking at these locations for your trailers. The local cross country ski and snowshoe trails are near the center of town. Hiking, swimming, boating are within a short drive.
