This property is rustic and charming and really does feel like the middle of nowhere. The kitchen was well equipped, including two coffee prep vehicles (very important to this reviewer!) We had fires in the burn barrel, and Cary had plenty of wood available. And the stars, oh the stars. I really wanted to be somewhere truly dark enough to see the stars and I was not disappointed... the sky was incredible and my favorite part.
The only things I would note for others - the property is on a huge lot, but the back of the lot does abut another property with a house where it sounded like construction was occurring. During our short stay, the folks at that property were quite loud - music and yelling - but they quieted down in the evening as it got cooler. I just say this to flag that if you were expecting to be in complete silence, you should set your expectations appropriately, (Oh, and you are within the sound range of the USMC base, so expect some noise from that too. We were hearing lots of munitions during the day, or what my husband, who was stationed there years ago, identified as tank fire. Who knew?)
The only other note, and this made no difference to us, the information provided about the property indicated that there was a TV in the house. If there was, I couldn't find it. :) We were more than happy to play records (Cary's collection is so fun - we ranged our listening from Van Halen to Lou Rawles - there is something for everyone.) If reading, listening to music, cooking and enjoying the stars are your jam, you will love this spot.
Finally, Cary is lovely and a very responsive host! Thank you for hosting us, we really enjoyed ourselves!
