We arrived after a storm and the electricity was out as Shane had told us. He connected up a generator so the refrigerator would run for us. Also, distributed flashlights.
As for the house itself -- it has 8 bedrooms with very comfortable beds, most with tv's, nice size living room with a tv, wonderful dining room with a bar, lovely screened in front porch (where we spent most of our time). We enjoyed just bonding the first night. Electricity came on the second day of vacation.
The location is perfect if you enjoy doing outdoor activities. We rode ATV's and did white water rafting. We enjoyed hiking the trails and visiting antique stores. We also had down time in the pool, utilizing the fire pit, playing basketball, and playing pool. What we enjoyed most was family time playing games we had brought each evening.
The property is lovely and peaceful. The house could use some loving up, but it worked for us!! We are a large family and just wanted some family time this home was perfect for us!! Thank you Shane!!!
