Everything was great. They had everything we needed for the weekend—although we did bring those things too. Like plenty of firewood for the fire pit, charcoal, lighter fluid, etc… Minor things like some guests noticed and liked were two ply toilet paper, Tupperware for extra food made, ice already made in the freezer. Would definitely recommend.
