Notes
With the view, we have a gravel driveway to traverse the hill. While the driveway is not an issue for most of the year, it can provide challenges in snow during the winter. Also please note that the remote location makes internet access difficult, and the valley can impede cellular access. While Wifi works great for general email/web surfing, it is not ideal for streaming or Zoom videoconference.
