Housing Prospects!

I wasn't getting too excited about looking for apartments or any housing yet, because I thought it was a little early.....BUT tonight I thought I would give craigslist a quick look and I found two really good housing prospects. I spoke with one lady.....her rental would only be available from January to April.....she is right along the Skalkaho Highway in Hamilton and it is a farm..she has goat, horses, geese and cats. She would be open to having a dog....but she would need to meet her and see how she interacts with the other farm animals. All utilites would be paid and a washer/dryer is included! All for only $400/mth. The reason it is only until April is because she runs like a hostel during the summer months. The other rental.....I REALLY want. It is in the town of Stevenville.....it is a furnished cabin on 10 acres!!! All utilites are paid for $450/mth.....dogs are allowed. This cabin is off grid(no electric). They have hydropower (water generated electricity). There is no stove in the cabin....but the ad says you can use the stove in the main house(whatever that means exactly??) Victor is almost directly in the middle between these two towns. Hamilton is 11 miles SOUTH of Victor and Stevensville is 10 miles NORTH of Victor. Hamilton (pictured upper left) has a population of abou 4,600. Stevensville(top pic below) has a population of about 2,000 and Victor(bottom pic below) has a population of about 900.
