As mentioned in previous reviews, the home is quiet and peaceful. Loved the glass wall to see trees and slept very well in the silence of the area. The home is the only one on the property and we didn't see any neighbors although it's in a residential area. The creek is really pretty. We enjoyed our stay because we like the simple things in life, it feels like elevated camping. The decor and amenities are outdated- this is a rustic cabin with no extras included. You will need to bring coffee filters, bottled water (if you like filtered water), oil for cooking, the items that you would need if going on a camping trip. There are a few pots, pans, and sheet pans, but not a lot to make a nice dinner. We made due with what was there. The beds are INCREDIBLY comfortable and the fireplace was very nice on the cold nights. Bring extra blankets to snuggle up on the couch, play some games and enjoy this peaceful cabin. If you are looking for luxury, I would not recommend this place. But if you are looking for a natural, quiet and relaxing place I would totally recommend this home. We went as a couple and had a great time, I could see this being great if you have a family, there is a bed downstairs in the living room as well as the larger loft bed. We also brought our own record player and vinyls which added a nice retro touch, it really felt like we stumbled back into the 70's. The only thing I didn't really like was being asked to empty the metal bucket with fireplace ashes into the garbage can by the street. We shoveled all the ashes from our fire into the buck and put it outside and then I read we needed to empty the bucket even though it was completely full from other guests. I think for a $90 cleaning fee, the hosts should dump the ashes.
