The listing is inaccurate. There is not a full kitchen—no stove, just a single burner cooktop, no oven. Had we known we would not have booked to stay here. There is a toaster oven and microwave, which helped, but we cook a lot and had brought a ton of food that we ended up saving. There is also no A/C as listed, which was fine but just to note (and no blender, but that was minor). There are no window coverings, which is normally not an issue for us, except there is a motion-activated flood light outside the window at the head of the bed, which turns on whenever someone/thing walks by at night. My partner sleeps through everything and we could not sleep through this floodlight turning on (three times in one night). Part of the reason we chose to stay here was for the swimming and floating in the creek. Yes, there is a stagnant pool of water one might choose to swim/float in bookended by beaver dams (f you can figure out how to get to it; and it was really gross looking and we are not picky), but otherwise the creek was barely ankle deep. (We acknowledge that everywhere is suffering a drought right now and these may not be normal conditions.) We hiked in the creek for about a mile and it was mostly overgrown. The Land is fine. We've been to some magical places and this was not, in our opinion. There were myriad other issues but these were the major ones for us. Oh, and the hosts are slow to respond to messages through Vrbo, which their "manual" requests we do (more than 24 hours to get replies). All that being said, the house is actually pretty nice, and there are some nice amenities like the coffee and toiletries. Access to trails was nice, but if you're looking for a remote, idyllic place to stay, this is not it.
