First off, the owners of this property are great to work with and respond very quickly.
The property is mostly as described. In fact, it is as described, just not completely as we were expecting. From the description we were expecting much more 'beach access.' Mud Bay is just a short walk across the road, and it is a beautiful bay. However, the access is very limited and non-existent at high tide. This was a bit of a bummer for us, but not a deal breaker by any stretch.
The cabin is beautiful and you can feel the family love that went into it. We appreciate that the owners shared their family treasure with us. The setting, on the south island, is peaceful, serene, slow and uncrowded. The cabin is set in a nice pasture with a nice view. It is not by itself, though, and know you will have neighbors (though we rarely saw them or heard them).
A couple of suggestions for the owners: privacy curtains would be nice, especially by the master bedroom. We also had trouble operating the sound/DVD system as it runs through a tuner. Some simple instructions would have helped a lot. We did have trouble with an HDMI cable, but that's no one's fault.
All in all, if you are looking for a very, very peaceful time away to the south of Lopez in a very nice cabin, this is a great place. There were just two of us and we enjoyed the quiet and using this cabin as a base station to explore Lopez.
