Such a beautiful property! Check in was easy as it was all done through emails. The kitchen came with a little bottle of olive oil, soap, laundry pods, dishwasher tablets and sponge. Most everything was provided in the kitchen except for tin foil and plastic bags and such. The Wi-Fi was almost non existent. Upstairs and down stairs were extremely spotty at best. We stayed in Unit 1 handicapped room. The entire first floor was completely accessible for our wheelchair bound guest. She had easy access to the whole living room, kitchen, her bedroom and en-suite. The roll in shower was huge and perfect for her abilities. The only draw back was the floor wasn't slopped much so water did run all over the bathroom floor, but we had lots of towels to clean up the water. There is no AC in the unit and we came during 90* weather making the upstairs over 80* each day. If you are coming during the peak heat season, bring an AC unit with you as it got hot.The ramp to the front door was amazing, with a very easy incline for easy access. Parking was a little tricky when the handicap spot was taken, but when we were able to park there, it was almost directly in front of the ramp to the cabin. The entrance to the property was a little hard to find and the slope to get up to the parking lot was very steep. Overall, this was an incredible experience and the cabin was lovely!
