This is on the owners property and a working farm. Neither bothered us but just a heads up. I also did not realize from the photos that the living area and recreation area are separate rooms which was nice. The bathroom is in the rec room with a step up into it. We were able to enjoy quiet evenings playing games and watching movies. We also spent time in the rec room and at the fire pit. If we are in the area again we would stay here again. ##### Alari T. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Maggie F. 13 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great location close to the caves. The host was very responsive. Only issue was with WiFi but all worked out. Would recommend. ##### Maggie F. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ---
