The people were great and the location was amazing.
Having to stoke the fire overnight was unexpected - but we are not big campers. For the money we paid for our stay, we expected more amenities even though it is marketed as glamping.

We had about 2 inches of water in our stove, it made it very hard to keep a fire going the first night, it had rained and we had standing water under the heat stove, we had housekeeping clean it up before we realized there was standing water inside the heat stove. Now it had rained very heavily before we got there but looking at the cap to the stove pipe, it was bent and damaged, allowing water to come into the stove. Also we were inundated with moths both nights after dark, that was memorable.
