Microwave is needing replacing. Rusty and chipped. Everything else great. Thanks for providing proper WiFi. Thanks again regards Lily

Jammer dat er zo weinig voorzieningen waren ( voldoende stoelen en een tafel) om ook van de tuin te kunnen genieten. De keuken is ronduit versleten. Bovendien waren heel wat spullen die in de kasten stonden niet proper. Het is niet fijn als je na een autorit van 1200 km ergens toekomt en alles moet beginnen afwassen. Het verblijf op zich kost voldoende en mag dus minstens proper zijn!

Our plan was to spend a few days relaxing, sleeping in and catching up on laundry for the second half. What a beautiful place to do exactly that! Letâs be clear, it is WAY THE HECK out there but perfect if you are looking for something off the beaten path. 2 downstairs bedrooms were well appointed, kitchen well stocked if you are planning to cook ( but know the nearest grocery store is over 30 min away so plan ahead) and washer and dryer were great as well. The upstairs is well suited for children, but the beds were a little small for adults and not particularly comfortable. The views were spectacular and the cows next door were perfect neighbors! I would only add that more toilet paper should have been available, and maybe wood for the fireplace. Otherwise, it was perfect for our group!
