Other details to note:
-During the winter months, a 4WD or AWD vehicle is required to access the home. The driveway goes down a hill and can be difficult to drive up when there’s snow or ice. While the road is plowed regularly, conditions can still be challenging for 2WD vehicles.
-The lakefront is reached by walking down a hill along a stone path. There’s a rope railing to hold onto.
-There is a camera above the front door that faces the parking area only.
-There is one window AC unit in one of the upstairs bedrooms.
-Cyanobacteria (also known as blue-green algae) are common native organisms in lakes, ponds and rivers around the world and are a natural part of the lake ecosystem. In Vermont, they can be found in any water body, river or stream. They can grow into large visible masses called blooms and become harmful to humans and animals. It is advised to analyze any body of water you ever plan to swim in whether it is freshwater or salt water. If it looks like pea soup and you’re in doubt, stay out.
Luckily, the Lake Carmi State Park tests the water daily and the results are posted on the Health Vermont website. Vermont uses 3 levels to describe cyanobacteria conditions:
-Generally Safe - Few if any cyanobacteria present. The area should be safe for recreation.
-Low Alert - Small amounts of cyanobacteria present. The area is open for recreation, but caution is advised in any area where dense accumulations or scums are seen.
-High Alert - Large amounts of cyanobacteria are present and scums may occur in some areas. The water is not safe for recreation.
