Good food

A great market and prepared food market! Call and order in advance (or order online - then call to make sure they received your order) and by the time you get there it should be almost ready. They do full meals. Also, I think you may see this in the movie "Baby Boom" (so I've heard - I've never seen the movie).

This is a super casual Tex Mex place in Ludlow (about 20 minutes from the cottage). During the pandemic it has been take-out only, but even when they have "dine-in", it's very small, so probably best to pick-up on the way home from skiing and eat at the cottage.

This is really good wood-fired pizza in Ludlow (about 20 minutes from the cottage). Note that you have to call EARLY to make a reservation for your pick-up order, so if you want pizza from American Pie, call as soon as they open for that evening to make sure you get a pick-up time. (Because of the pizza oven, they can only make so many pizzas each hour, so when you call to order, you let them know what time you want to come in to pick up and they give you a time as close to what you request.). CALL EARLY! Again, this is pick-up only.

Amazing Handmade Crafts

I LOVE this store! Charles Shakleton (yes, he's related to THAT Shakleton) makes STUNNING furniture and his wife, Miranda Thomas, is a world-renowned potter. Check their website to make sure they're open as it's just under an hour away, but well worth the drive!

Conseils sur la ville

Déplacements

You need a car...preferably a four wheel drive

While the roads around here are VERY well kept by the amazing road crews, after a big snow or during mud season (spring - April/May), you never know what you may encounter, so better safe than sorry. My driveway is long as the house is set-back from the road, but my plowing service is pretty good about getting around to make sure it's driveable. That said, after a big snow if you want to get out first thing in the morning, it's best to have 4WD to make sure you can get out in case the plow truck hasn't made it to my place.
