Such a great space! So much room on the property, the campfire spot is huge and it is so nice sitting by the fire with the lights strung around the area. The inside is very cozy and there was some wood set up in the stove when we arrived which was nice. Fridge is a good size for a bar fridge and all the kitchen utensils needed are provided. They give some great notes on how to navigate cooking and washing up given that the sink is further away and the main source of cooking is the bbq. There is a little basket for the bbq so cooking hash browns and other things on the bbq was so easy! The hot plate worked great as well once we figured out the right temperature! The water has a high iron content which was mentioned. I found it drinkable if boiled for tea or coffee and it was fine to cook with but would recommend bringing some drinking water! The outdoor shower is a must, it takes a bit to adjust to the right temperature but once you find it it’s incredible! We walked the path down to the water and it was a bit of a challenge. It is not far but it is super steep, the steepest part does have a rope to hold onto which was nice.
We had a couple doggy visitors (hank & walter) which we assume were from the neighbours close by. They were super cute and a fun surprise, but they do like to mark their territory so beware haha
