Wi-Fi at the library near the general store. The home feels a bit worn, but very cozy. Soft beds. For the price it felt somewhat basic: we could have used some face towels / washcloths, and a couple other staples that we usually find at other vacation rentals: paper towels, clean sponge, salt/pepper. Patsy was just a phone call away at all times and was warm and welcoming, a wonderful host. We had the perfect amount of space for our family of 6 (ages 6 to 81). ##### Emily W.
