No effort had been made to warm it up and the heater was utterly inadequate. We went to bed at 7:30 just to keep warm. We had to ask for milk.The one plug (two sinks) had a nail through it! (Health and safety alert!)The bed was great. The location was quiet and peaceful. Our host directed us to an excellent lookout spot at a nearby lake. ##### Janet H.

I believe we were the first guests to stay there, as its a newly listed property. We were 2 adults, 1 child. The property was as per the pictures. It was clean and spacious. Emma talked about a few things that she is looking to add to the place which will make a difference. Emma was very flexible around our check in and out time which was very much appreciated. A really really nice touch from Emma included a loaf of freshly baked bread left at our door in the middle of our stay. It was delicious! My 6 year old wouldn't sleep on the camp stretcher but your child may be more easy going :) If you want a quiet getaway or have stuff on in the area, highly recommended. ##### Marcelle R.
