Mostly Good

The positives: great location, awesome lay-out for family gathering, comfortable beds The negatives: no instructions on heating, we figured it out best we could but the fire seemed to have a mind of it's own and we never could get the heat in the master to work. As a previous reviewer mentioned, the sheets in bunk room were not fitted and therefore, it was a very uncomfortable situation where ended up mostly sleeping on bare mattress. There was limited kitchen supplies - would be great to have a full 8 wine glasses, utensil set, water glasses, place mats, etc. We enjoyed the house but next time, we would likely choose another property due to some of these small details making our stay a little uncomfortable.
