Where I stayed, in the "hidden cabin," I got all the privacy I could ask for. I got there about an hour after assisted check-in was available, but everything in the instructions made sense. An hour later, after it got dark, recognizing the way to my hidden entrance may have been more troublesome. My schedule required me to be gone just about every minute the kitchen was open, which could have been more or a problem, had I not been fed enough to last all day at the event I was in town for. The parking problem may have been a bit understated. I found a space about a block and a half from Michael's place and never saw a closer spot at any hour during the entire 3 days of my stay. Although my walk each day was only 1.4 mi (and back) quick visits to the car added to this and sometimes threw off my timing a little.
