This peaceful downstairs apartment with a private entrance was a nice place to stay. We did not need to use the wood stove as it was warm enough for us without. There is a space heater in the bedroom if needed. The steep driveway is not too difficult as long as you are a person who is reasonably steady on your feet. It was helpful for me to have someone at the top of the driveway to make sure I did not back out into traffic. The deck was a nice place to be in the mornings especially.
