A nice kitchen set up, an area to comfortably relax and play games or watch movies. Bikes and kayak were available to enjoy the near by lake.

It appears someone tried to zip-tie it together but had a larger child or adult been sleeping on it, it would not have worked as the entire bottom sagged to the the floor. A small window A/C unit would have been a life-saver at night. It was so hot. But that being said, the place was super cute and functional. The property was nice. The kids loved the horses, goats and dogs. The outside cooking option was great. I would stay here again. ##### Alisha Z.
