8/10 Good
"Definitely quiet and in the middle of farm country. Unfortunately for us, we had several delays and didn’t get there until after dark. There isn’t any light on the roads and several miles of it are single lane dirt roads. The final 1/2 mile in need of some work as the center of the road was much higher than where the sides were and it rubbed on the bottom of the car for that length. Though honestly, if I was driving instead of my husband, it wouldn’t have been a problem as I have more experience with those sort of roads and he didn’t want any advice… the house itself was awesome and would be fun for a family to experience. We were just there for a night with our son and grandson so it was a quick in and out. And yes, I drove out and had no problem with the road! :D"
