Overall we had a great experience at this property. There were just a few hiccups when we were checking in we were not provided with the entry code or key beforehand and there is limited service where the property is so we had to use a hotspot to get in touch with the property owners. Once we sent a message though the property owners replied quickly. The property had everything we needed, the only thing was there were no blinds on the windows so at night anyone could see in. The parking situation was also confusing as to where to park because there is a separate living space on the property that someone else lives full time at and we accidentally blocked them in. She was very nice though and let us know to park behind one of the poles as a marker. All in all we had a great experience.
