Great Stay - Wish I Would've Known...
overall , such a great experience. I was prepared for a glamping experience BUT I wish I would have known a few things-The mini cabin has 3 windows, none of which have curtains... a bit creepy at night but no big deal!-Bring lanterns with full charge!-The mini cabin gets VERY hot , granted we did stay in June haha. We ended up going to Walmart and buying battery powered fans-The bathroom is an outhouse, mainly used for #2. I think it would have been nice to know it was a legit outhouse haha. Managable though. Toilet paper and wipes left out for us-The BUGS. Okay outdoorsbugs BUT the mini cabin gave barely any protection. The roof must have some areas they are able to get in because they were quite literally falling from the ceiling haha. Not to mention we had to keep the window open for some airflow so they were violently trying to get inside-Speaking of airflow. Although there is 3 windows there was not much of a breeze from any direction for us, again manageable-The cooler that is there for guests to put grocery items in is a bit dirty and our bag of ice only lasted a little over a day. I would recommend not needing or expecting much refrigerated needs-The fire pit was cool, only problem of mine personally was the angle it sits on may is slightly difficult to cook food over-The equipment inside the cabin was SUPER helpful over. The 'sink' was great for its purpose, thankful for the stock pile of sink water -Location was great! So much within an hour.

Amazing Overnight Stay
The cabin was perfect for an overnight stay. It was so secluded and the woods were beautiful. We were able to walk to the winery/brewery down the road and spent a lovely night by the fire. We were comfortable sleeping in the cabin with the windows open. The farm was very cool although the llama (alpaca?) didn't seem to like me :) The owner was amazing and went above and beyond when we left something behind. Would definitely recommend as a unique overnight stay.
