The house was beautiful, welcoming and warm. It had everything we needed. The river outside was perfect. You can open your window and hear the river. Lots of wildlife and beautiful night sky on a clear night. The little bridge you come over is a little scary but adds to being in the middle of nowhere. I loved this holiday.
