Summary: The heater didn’t work. When we emailed the agent no one responded. The bathroom is very tiny. The property is far from everything. Closest town was about 45 minutes. Everything closed early and is closed on weekends. The general store is up the street but just very basic items. We went to a nearby farm stand and purchased apple cider donuts and a few veggies. The house had all your cooking utensils for your cooking needs but supermarkets are far away. The views are beautiful and nights are very cold. Acorn trees on the property and the nuts fell on the house quite a bit. Most windows have no locking devices. There’s no door on the kids bunk bedroom.
