Ben's place is very rustic. The house is about 120 years old. It has an old musty smell to it. It has obviously been used for different purposes and had many add-ons over the years. It is not clean by any stretch. The kitchen vent over the stove frequently fell down and I am sure there are some sketchy wiring issues in the house. Outside the house there is a lovely pond with a small boat that you can use to float around in and check out the dozens of frogs and tadpoles. You can have a fire if you wish or just chill out and enjoy the incredible quiet of the area. As a self-professed clean freak this place drove me a little nuts and had I stayed one more day I might have been tempted to roll up my sleeves and start cleaning and purging inside and out! Yet there is also a charm to the place. Don't stay here if you are expecting anything but a rustic experience as our family anticipated.
