Be prepared for a rustic stay at this house. The pictures are definitely deceiving. The property details could be a bit more detailed. The floorboards upstairs are very gapped and the whole house shakes and creaks when you walk. Definitely a one of a kind experience! :)

Lovely property

Very clean property, I would recommend an upgrade on the mattresses.Most VRBO'S do not require the renters to bring sheets and towels. It was not a hardship for us but maybe a turn off for some.Did
