The owner and her family live on either side of the property. The space between their two homes is the space you will be renting. They are SUPER friendly, accommodating, fun, and giving people. They made friends with our children, gave them compliments, and helped us with our 9-year-old when he hurt his foot on the rocks in the lake. Allowed our older dog to be off-leash and offered us food. They told us the place's history as it had been in their family for 70 years and asked us how we were. They were pleasant to be around and spend time with. The cabin was cozy and accommodating! The beds were comfortable, with plenty of pillows and blankets. We felt at home here. We don't mind having neighbors and being friendly in a common-shared space, so it wasn't a problem. If you want privacy, it may be a little off-putting at first, but their hospitality makes you feel like a part of the family. If you are OK with that, I'd recommend it! My only complaint is the address that the rental company provides you is not the same as the address listed on the house. We would have been totally lost if it weren't for the owner being there. We arrived after 5 pm, so the rental company was closed and did not answer their phone. Even the pictures of the outside of the home look different than when they were taken, so it's challenging to find. During office hours, the rental company is more than helpful, though!
