Very cute house in a nice location
The location was great and we enjoyed seeing all the animals around. The house was cute. When they say the parking is for one small vehicle, they mean it. We have a truck that was very difficult to get into and turn around. We would definitely visit this property again.

Lots of deer
Enjoyed sitting on the deck behind the cabin and watching deer and hummingbirds. Our only complaints were parking, which was mentioned in listing, and no place for hanging clothes. Also, getting the shower curtain between the clothes dryer and tub was a little challenging.
