Excellent for family groups
We stayed in the rear house, but were with a group in the front house, and the setup was great - opened up into one big house. Clean and tidy, awesome location, and lots of firewood. Might try a summer trip next time. Some extra blankets and warm sheets for winter would be nice (or bring a few extras yourself for the chilly months).
