8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
This is a very interesting house for people with a sense of fun. Staying here for a week was like living in a jungle gym! So, if you have a fun sense of play and can live in a very flexible way, this house is for you! The spacious living room is over the garage, and the bedroom is actually behind the garage, totally separate from the upstairs and is accessible via outside stairs. (See what I mean about having a sense of fun?) Along with the coqui frogs at night and the farm animal sounds from next door mixed with DEAD QUIET, it's a one of a kind experience!!

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Apr 2023
Check in process was smooth and easy. The property had enough of the basic kitchen utensils to cook meals, the grill worked well. The small heaters provided quickly warmed up the cabin when needed. Bring plenty of fire starter if you plan to use the wood oven/ fireplace. The view from the back porch was as advertised, this felt like a very private getaway. We rarely heard noise from the neighboring properties. It would have been nice to have a few more outside seating options, especially to use the outside fire pit. Overall very happy with our stay and the proximity to the Park.
