Owl Hill Road. The house is 0.1 miles up a dirt road shared with 4 other houses. The road is regularly maintained but can have a few rough spots. In the warm months, it's fine for any vehicle. In the winter months and the early spring, good snow tires are highly recommended, and All Wheel Drive or 4-Wheel Drive is optimal. After a snowstorm, or in icy conditions, you may have to leave your vehicle at the bottom of the hill and walk-up, it's a 4-5 minute walk. Winter in Vermont can often be an adventure.
