An interesting property! Definitely still being developed, were are excited to see how it looks when it's all done! The house itself was nice, very modern, no TV. Three of us stayed here, one on the futon. We were hoping there would be some kind of bedding for the futon, but we had to supply some ourselves. Futon was also uncomfortable and crumby from the last guests - I suggest you bring a camping pad if you have a third person with you. Deck was nice as there is no other space to comfortably hang out outside; buildings are very close together. We made the three of us work in there but the place was really meant for only 2 people. We also did not get directions to the property until 4pm (which was check-in). The route Google Maps gives you is not correct so you have to wait for the directions. Don't plan on checking in right at 4pm, you have to wait and do some driving. Good place to heat some meals and sleep. Again, loved the uniqueness of the property.
