Our Access, Parking and Unique Setting---
A paved, town-maintained road leads you uphill from Rt. 16 to our chalet style style condo in popular Linderhof Resort and Glen Village. The town road and private driveway serving this condo community are well-maintained and quickly plowed in winter. Owners and renters temporarily move cars during snow storms so that the plows can efficiently do their snow removal.
One parking space is designated for out condo and located about 50' from the chalet along the Association driveway. Ample additional parking is along the driveway. There are several shallow and wide stairs leading down from the driveway to our building, a small price we gladly pay for beautiful setting and outstanding views.
