The property is everything the owners described.
I wish we had come here in summer and enjoyed the deck more. I can just picture sitting out on the deck watching the sun rise, relaxing. Or being indoors with the windows and doors wide open, with the breeze coming up the mountain, playing games at the table.
I'll give you my honest pros and cons. All of my cons are things that go along with renting an older property and we didn't have a problem with any of them, but we live in a 180 year old stone house and these are issue we are used to and didn't mind.
Cons:
Windows don't seal. We stayed at Thanksgiving, it was in the 50's so the temperature inside wasn't bad, but had it been windy this might have been an issue.
Critters scratching at night. No critters were in the living space, but there were definitely a couple in the walls.
Bugs, there's definitely some bugs, but not nearly as many as when we're camping.
Electric is older and you'll have to be careful about what appliances you use at the same time. The breaker box is updated so we weren't worried about electrical fire issues.
Pros, so many I can't list all. Most of them you can read in the property description, but here's a couple that were my personal favorites.
Brand New space heaters and air conditioners in each room. Even though we stayed in November, none of us were chilly at night as we all could heat our rooms individually. 6 of us cam from Wisconsin and 3 of us came from Florida, we have different ideas of comfortable sleeping temps.
Beautiful views, not only of the mountain and valley, but the whole property is charming.
The dishes! Yes, I said dishes. They have the most wonderful dinning and glassware. They remind me of my grandparents and made Thanksgiving feel all that more special.
Games and activities galore.
Blankets, blanket and more blankets. Even if it would have gotten drafty the owners have provided multitudes of high quality and adorable things to wrap yourself up in.
Well stocked kitchen, pots, pans, spatula, potato masher, etc. You need it to cook with, they got it.
An area surrounded by neighbors who know exactly where your staying and very willing to give you directions and recommendations.
The most homey and comforting décor.
If your a person that has issues with some bugs and critters this is not the place for you, but if you want the real feeling of an old fashioned country mountain cabin, this is the place!
