Beautiful place in a fantastic location! Well appointed with appliances, books and spacious bedrooms. The walk-in shower was amazing and helped warm up after being outside in the rain. My wife and I stayed with our 5 year old and a walking 1 year old which was challenging - requiring constant supervision with all of the stairs, ladders, etc. We should have thought this one through better!

The place was gorgeous but when we got there it was cold as a tomb (14 degrees) and took several hours with the fireplace roaring and the heat turned on for my wife and small kids to warm up. There did not seem to be any forced air ventilation and the warmth comes from heated floors. Once the house is warm it stays warm as long as you watch the thermostat. I would suggest asking Sarah to warm up the house before you get there if you are coming in the winter months. As we were warned in the welcome book, power failures do happen. Unfortunately, we had one that lasted all through dinner and bedtime on our 2nd night. Luckily, they provided good LED flashlights, I had finished making risotto and had already turned on the BBQ for the fish. Unluckily, I discovered both BBQ tanks were actually empty so we had risotto and nothing else for dinner. First world problem I know but 2 empty BBQ tanks in a location known for power failures was a little irksome. I would have called Sarah about it but the phone line did not work and there is no cell service. Luckily, the kids ate enough of what we had and the power came back on after they were in bed. Overall, good experience in an amazing location. Nice book collection too.
