Very nice home definitely rustic. The beds were comfy with plenty of pillows and blankets. The bathrooms were updated, very warm showers with good shower heads. The owners had the house well stocked with extra blankets, plenty of towels, some toiletries, plenty of kitchen dishes/ utensils. Also a binder with lots of extra information.
Glad they had a tree we could enjoy for our Christmas stay
