Vicki was very flexible about our arrival time (as we had a 6 hour drive to get there) and greeted us warmly, and gave us a thorough introduction and welcome.

Internet and TV were fine.

Unfortunately the place was not clean (a pool of sticky hand soap in the bathroom, bathroom fan was covered with dust-bunnies, soap dish in shower filled with previous guest's water) and smelled unpleasantly.

The furnishings are not comfortable (outdoor furniture repurposed for living room) meant we couldn't really relax comfortably and the overall layout just was awkward. Decor touches seemed to be in lieu of basic functionality (e.g., nice to have a hair dryer provided but frustrating not to have a plug in the bathroom or anywhere near a mirror).

We definitely chose a cheaper option and I suppose got what we paid for, but it's disappointing. No additional roll of toilet paper, that we only discover when we use up the single roll provided - not a good time to have to go ask, or go shopping, etc. There's a lack of foresight into the details, perhaps instead a focus on minimizing costs. And that hurts the experience we had.

We were well aware of the location and the view is beautiful but keep in mind that it's well out of town. If the space was more of a retreat than the distance might be appealing but since anything we wanted or needed was in town, we wished we had chosen someplace closer.
