This is a special place. Seriously. You could look and look and you might never its equal. Probably not for absolutely everyone--and is this not just MORE upside? In a word: it's fun. Adventurous, totally private, surprisingly comfortable. The caveats really aren't warnings at all. It's a compound, not a single structure, and going repeatedly back & forth--up and down well-constructed outdoor stairs--from the 'kitchen house' to the 'sleeping house' and then to the soaking tub/sauna patio--this will help you get your steps in. Is that bad? Not if you ask me. The kitchen is cozy, and minimal, but you will easily be able to make simple meals. We stayed 5 days, and while we're particular about food, we only ate out for a total of three mealtimes. The fridge is more than large enough--think Europe, not dormroom. We did just a single shop (for two.)All the property's systems worked exactly as advertised for us. The listing says everything you need to know, and says it clearly. The place is off-grid. It's an arid location, and we visited in an historic drought. Still plenty of water! And while the pressure isn't high, this is not news, nor is it hardship. Did it take longer than 20 minutes to fill the tubs? Yes, a bit, but fill up they did. Also: every gallon of that water (of the 300 or so) was just as hot as you could want.Suffice to say: the raves here get it right. The beefing about the driveway? Waah. In VT, we call this 'having a driveway'. Oh, and the host was awesome.
