Great functioning kitchen. Also, a massive sleepout with its own bathroom & kitchenette. (Which we didn't use). It was close to town (not really walking distance), in a good area. Only negative was no lighting in the back yard.....when you arrive in the dark, looking for a lockbox that you don't really know where it is; is a little challenging when you've got tired children and no lights. All in all a wonderful place to stay. ##### Karen S.
