Great place for a city getaway especially for families with young kids. Although Cyndi and Sal were out of town (as our visit coincided with the Thanksgiving holiday) they made sure we had detailed instructions for our arrival and visit. Our two kids (toddler + elementary school aged) absolutely loved seeing all of the animals and running around the back yard. It just happened that the weekend we visited was chillier than usual, so we really noticed the lack of central heat. The electric heaters did keep us quite toasty once we'd gotten the place warmed up. So it's definitely rustic but completely wonderful for spending a quiet weekend in the woods.
