Absolutely beautiful view both on the deck, living room, kitchen and the two lower floor bedrooms. Ted was a great, very accommodating host. The kitchen is indeed nicely stacked - probably better than any AirBnB we have stayed in (and we stayed in many). We stayed very comfortably for 9 days. There are several state parks close by with miles of beautiful trails but you definitely need a car to get to them or to downtown as the roads are narrow and very curvy.
