City advice
Getting around
Beautiful drive (and shortcut) to the village of Woodstock
Out the driveway, pass the Skunk Hollow Tavern on your right --- and take your first right up Town Farm Hill Road. This is a 7 mile shortcut into Woodstock and passes a few very beautiful farms. Stay straight. The road eventually turns to pavement and then there's a long down hill that leads you to Route 4. At that stop stay straight and you have entered the town of Woodstock. [Not advisable to take this road if there is snow, ice or it's mud season in March and April.]
What to pack
A few odds and ends...
All of these details, and many more, will be in a guest book that is available in the cottage.
- WIFI is fine but there is sketchy cell service.
- There are some books available in the front hall to take or swap.
- The cottage has radiant floor heating so it should be warm.
- There is a brief walk from where you park to the house so you might want to bring an umbrella or rain coat.
- For summer months, there are a few plastic chairs you can take to sit on in the brook, for frolicking, reading, cocktail hour, etc. -- so bring a bathing suit or water shoes.
What to pack
The time of year you visit changes what you need to bring.
It is increasingly icy in winter - consider shoes or boots with traction!
In the summer, consider water shoes so you can wade in the brook.
