Winter Concerns

This section is particularly important because we receive a large annual snowfall. Look for a driveway which is as level as possible so the slipping and sliding is kept to a minimum during the winter. Along the same line, look for a design which keeps the snow on the roof from dumping onto the driveway, entryway or other important areas. Paved driveways are preferred because they are much easier to clear snow from. Suggestion: hire a local service provider to plow your driveway and walkway after each storm. The last thing you or your guests want to do upon arrival is to spend an hour or more shoveling a path so the kids can get in the cabin.   Snow that sits for days or weeks becomes a mound of ice that will require heavy equipment to move.  This can really throw a wrench in your plans upon arrival.
