Great house. We enjoyed the location. Near town but still felt like we were in the woods. Which the children enjoyed. Especially the deer. We will stay here again.

Please have maintenance address the receiver on front door dead bolt - it is too tight, causing the mechanism to try multiple times. This drains battery faster than necessary. In order to be sure we could always get in, we left a back door open just in case front door would potentially fail.
