The off grid property was surrounded by beautiful trees and other properties but enough space for adequate privacy. Chris the owner, Katie the property manager were friendly. Occasional bark from Zoe the resident dog.

When you got in side The hidden retreat it was a lovely place to spend a couple of days. I think a pull down blind at the kitchen window would be appreciated.

Address was a little hard to find especially at night, maybe more lighting to illuminate the address etc.The cabin was off grid and the battery was not good at the time of visit. Made using electrical appliances a bit hard.Fireplace was the hit for me and certainly warmed the whole cabin.Overall was a great location nice and quiet with good privacy. Just need to sort out the power situation and it would be 10/10. My rating in present condition would be 8/10.
