The property is every bit of how its advertised. It's a cozy and quaint hideaway, rustic cabin. My only complaint is the outdoor lighting did not work. It made it difficult to maneuver at night when we returned from our extended event. We had to use the flashlights on our phones to get safely from our car to the front door.

Mouse dropping along baseboards in bedrooms & would have been nice to know that we needed to turn on propane on the outside tank. We didn’t have heat the first night. Thaught the tank was empty. We ask if we had to do anything when we got there cause it was like 10pm when I got there. They said no your all set. I didn’t check the tank till 3pm the next day , to find out the propane was turned off.
