Please read all of this with the context that there was a November freeze and temperatures were at or below freezing for the duration of our stay.

This a review for a stay during low temps.

If coming during the winter heed the warning they give about arriving before dusk. In winter this leaves a very narrow window between the 3:00pm check in and darkness, so head over to the general area early and grab dinner in a nearby town. Navigating to the location right dusk was difficult and had we arrived any later we would not have found it and/or would have hit something on the way into the property as the roads leading to the property are unlit and poorly marked - as expected in such a lovely out of the way area. After confirming your stay they do send a very detailed and long note with instructions about arriving to the property. Do heed them.

Bedding and beds were very comfy and everything was extremely clean and well thought out.

Remember you are off grid - in the winter you're going to be in a low light (candle and some battery powered devices included) environment almost immediately after you arrive. If in the winter move quickly to get yourself sorted before full darkness. The light show lasted for a very brief time as the lights are solar charged and the daylight hours are short in November. They did not last anywhere near the 3 hours as advertised and was looking forward to.

There are plenty of vignettes set up for prime photo ops and they even offer the addition of someone dressed up in a Sasquatch costume for an extra fee.

While plenty of blankets were provided (and used) the tiny adorable stove made no dent in the inside temperature once the temps dropped so low. I went through several of the hand cut wood bundles trying to raise the temp inside the tent higher than the temp outside. In the morning the pipes had frozen so no hot water was available. They did extend the check out by an hour to help accommodate this inconvenience. There is a lovely open at the top shower that would have been wonderful to use.

They also offer eggs!
