Super clean, and exceeded our expectations with everything we needed for our short stay. Loved sitting on the back porch, where we could hear the river far below. We did hike down to it, which is challenging/steep, but we very much appreciated the work to make it safe and doable !! The long dirt road is very well maintained!! It was easy to get to, and come and go on our outings. The place is so peaceful, surrounded by the sounds and views of nature. Our cell phones had excellent service.
