Summary: Great out of the way place for a couple or small families. The kitchen is stocked with all the utensils and cookware to make any meal from breakfast to dinner. The fenced in, sizeable yard is a great amenity for those with dogs.Finally, the night sky is phenominal. You can clearly see many stars and constellations without light pollution. Great for stargazing.
