This was perfect for our family. We have two small children, and we loved being able to use the yard :-) They loved the chickens, the cats, and the dog, and it was a great place for our kids to relax. We were worried that the space would be too small for all four of us. If our kids had been older, it would have been too small, but our baby's pack and play fit comfortably between the bed and the fireplace, and our toddler slept on a mat on the floor between the bed and the locker.
