The hosts were very responsive and hospitable. They don't live far away and they brought over a BBQ utensil one day when I couldn't find it in the house. The house itself is large and clean, has comfortable beds, a large open kitchen (with an abundance of cabinet space), TV, board games, and outside deck, an outside grill, and a fire bowl (with wood and kindling included) -- everything we needed for our stay. It felt private, cozy, and very comfortable. "Country Haven" is an apt descriptor. There is also a garage which is a huge plus for parking your car out of the bad weather.
Items for future travelers to note (neither good nor bad, just good to know): (1) there is an electric fence in the back yard of the house for the cows in the next-door farm -- if you have young children, you would want to be extra careful. (2) depending on the wind, you can sometimes smell the cow manure -- it didn't bother me and it wasn't strong but something to note in case you have a very sensitive sniffer.
