Charming and rustic! There are some rural challenges that were not that important to us. There is no cell service, so download your Check-in information in advance. There are not many options for gas/ convenience nearby, but we brought our own food and went to hike, so not a problem! It sleeps 8 and is very roomy, but there is only 1 bathroom. The a/c was fine for a cool weekend but may not have been adequate for a really hot one. A microwave would also have been handy. Overall super artsy, historical, and peaceful. We had a good stay!
