Stairs! Stairs! Stairs! I counted around 22 steps from porch to living area. I am squeamish of heights, so the open banister wasn't for me. If Temps are above the mid 80s, it can be quite hot. Very spacious, but furniture is only ok. I could hear the mattress springs under my head. Lots of people/cars coming and going, all ours. I could hear everything going on downstairs and outside, so noise kept my family up most nights.
