The access road on the property is unsafe. There is a bridge that cannot be structurally sound. The access path to the beach was impassable - it was overgrown and dangerous. The fridge in the cabin was turned up so high that all of the fresh food we bought with us froze and was ruined.

If you are looking for rustic, this is it. But it is not a place for winter season coz there is only 1 blower for the entire unit and no electric blanket. It was raining on the night we stayed and needless to say, we were freezing.
