Summary: Wonderful! As described, rustic off the grid. Host is nearby and available for any issues. (We only had a small one and that was taken care of promptly) Swimming and stars at night made this vacation totally enjoyable. We had great meals, the kitchen had plenty of wares and the grill was clean with plenty of propane. Thank you Steve and Julie!!
