We haven't been here in a while and were reminded of how much we love this place. Many thanks to the previous guest who left it immaculate! The furniture has been updated and much of the dated stuff removed. It looked like it had been recently painted. The fireplace is now boarded up, but really it was an inhouse human smoker; so that probably needed to happen. The roads were grated, still dicey, but substantially better. There are mice inside, so bring traps (NOT POISON) and bins to keep your dry food stored in. One of the futons in back room is broken. There were no glasses- just plastic cups, so someone might want to bring some up and donate. Plenty of coffee cups and a brand-new coffee maker. Watch your step coming and going from room closest to bathroom. Our daughter fell in middle of night (she's ok) because she forgot about the 2-inch drop. Next time we will tie door shut and she can go around. Make sure to pack drinking water, dish soap, sponge, nightlights if you're up a lot, flashlights, matches or lighter, hummingbird nectar/feeder. We brought birdseed from Wild Bird and Jays were steady visitors. Enjoyed seeing deer, coatimundi, ringtail, many turkeys, hummingbirds. We have yet to see the elusive bear everyone else seems to see. This is truly a special place, and we feel so lucky to be able to enjoy it.
