I agree about isn't always easy especially in winter when the long, winding, steep driveway has to be plowed with a V-plow, and the internet service is unreliable, and the ground under us is rocky ledge...
But the views and privacy make it all worth it to me. We can see over the Connecticut River to the hills of Vermont to the west and to the east the hills of New Hampshire.
This is the view to the east (with the geese superimposed )

Sometimes it is humid, but mostly at the end of summer when it is hot.
