Off Grid Getaway
Lets start with the bad to get to the good. We drove in a large truck and it is very tight to get the truck into the driveway with a large pickup. Its more setup for a jeep or something smaller, we made it work but it is super tight. The yard was unkept. It said there was horseshoe pits, hammocks, treehouses for the kids etc for outside activites and those things are there it just hasnt been maintained. It was not awful just unkept and not super useful. The kids didnt love the treehouse, the horseshoe pit was covered in weeds. The hammock was there however, we did not use it. When we arrived the house smelled musty. It was not overwhelming but musty nontheless. We were instructed to read the binder which was very helpful. I will return to that momentarily.
There are 3 levels to the house. The top floor and master suite is to die for. The bed is AMAZING. The bathroom and tub are awesome, the deck and view are fabulous. There is even a window above the bed to look at the stars
Main level. Kitchen, living area, bathroom. One bathroom and shower. The only bathroom and shower aside from the master suite upstairs in the house. Every time anyone showered in there it set off the smoke detectors in the house. That was fun with a wedding party trying to get ready. Down stairs and no bathrooms. 2 bedrooms and no other exits or bathrooms. IMO if a fire happens upstairs you are in trouble down there. If you have to use the bathroom at night with knee trouble, you are screwed. I was told the bed were ok, nothing to brag over but not terrible either.
Guest house has a spiral staircase to the bed and I was told it has a small bed up there and it would be cramped with 2 people but doable, again not awful but not awesome. Cute little house. One bathroom. and kitchenette with its own deck and privacy.
Back to the main house. The kitchen is spacious and provided plenty of room for everyone to sit and enjoy each others company. The deck was fabulous and beautiful at night.
Here are the things I wish I had known prior to arrival. We had booked this for a wedding party. We were meeting here from other states. The home has ZERO cell service, while a relaxing getaway with no cell service is awesome, trying to check on people from other states, elderly family members etc and no cell service is tough. There is wifi but it is very slow and unreliable. You are supposed to pack out your garbage-again with a wedding party where was I supposed to take it?
