Smithson has gone way out of his way to make our newbie stay successful. Smithson provided a book with excellent suggestions for activities we could attend. He also provided directions to many of these attractions. The old farmhouse was nicely appointed with comfortable furniture, a fully stocked kitchen, and all the toiletries you could hope for. The vinal records and player (John Denver, etc...) made evenings after touring very comfortable before retiring. We didn't have the opportunity to take advantage of the back deck or fire pit, but if we come back in the summer we certainly would. Let me add that we had a small (50 lbs) dog with us and Smithson made everything with the dog easy and successful. The only warning I have is the entrance and exit from the house can be challenging, especially if you have a large car or pickup. Our Nissan Rogue had no issue dealing with access to/from the house.
