I can't even describe how amazing this place is and how much we enjoyed the first 4 nights of our vacation here! The cabin is EXACTLY as Cynthia describes, so if you're expected a sparkling, hermetically sealed environment, don't book it! If, however, you are a lover of nature and history and loads of charm, then this is the place for you. Relaxing by the fire every night was absolute zen.
A few things to note:
1) The inside of the cabin smells like campfire. I love it, some may not.
2) The kindling provided is fatwood. For those unfamiliar, it's highly flammable so a little goes a long way. An excellent addition by Cynthia to help get the damp wood going.
3) The shower head is quite low, so just be aware. My husband is 6'1" though and had no complaint. Water pressure is awesome.
4) You may hear various small critters on the roof from time to time. That's ok! They live here too! Outside!
5) Follow Cynthia's suggestions, from tips for the property, to dining options. Do make sure to make dinner plans early as there are only a handful of restaurants in the immediate vicinity and most close around 8:00pm.
Overall, we can't recommend this property enough! Every amenity imaginable is provided and the knickknacks throughout the cabin makes it feel like you're staying at Grandma's house (or perhaps great or even great-great Grandma's house!) given that it's 120 years old. A true gem!!
