Thank you Stephanie I am pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and appreciate the feedback!
The house was as described. I loved how deep in the woods it is. The fire pit was well supplied. Comfortable bed. Living room was comfortable except for no coverings on the living room window. The sun shown in and made it very hot. We could have used additional kitchen towels and hand towels in the bathroom. Overall we enjoyed our stay. The house is close to towns and restaurants.
