Very Good

It’s a little house/ camper on the farm property. If you don’t mind glamping camper style- you’ll be fine.
The deck was really cute to hang out on and it had a great view.
The hot tub is not at the little house- it’s at the main house. We drove to it (mainly because it was chilly at night but can be walkable.)
The rooms were very small, studio apartment like but still very cute. It had all the essentials and we were very happy with it.
