Question

How is cell service in this area?

Answer

Cell service can be very spotty in both Montgomery and Montgomery Center, VT. Our venue has great Wifi and a land line that guests can use to make calls if needed. We also recommend turning on "Wifi Calling" on your cell phone. (Note: Cell service is strong in the areas surrounding Montgomery and can be reached within a 5 minute drive.)

Question

How close will we be to Canada?

Answer

Only 12 miles away! If you wanted to cross into Canada, there is a great border crossing in Richford and it's only 20 minutes from our venue. To enter Canada, adults will need a either a Passport Card, Passport Book, or an enhanced NYS driver's license, and kids only need their birth certificates. (Note: Once you get as close as 5 miles away from the Canadian border, your cell phone may think you're already in Canada. To prevent roaming charges, make sure to turn off "Roaming" on your cell phone. Although, many cell service providers only charge $5/day for international calls and data in Canada.)
