While the description and reviews state that this place is authentic, I had absolutely no idea just how true that would be. The house is situated on a large piece of very rural land with amazing views and a very private experience. In the entire weekend I saw one car pass on the road. The property owner /manager was top notch in that we never met or interacted during our stay, yet was only a phone call away. This is the private experience I was looking for. It really was as if mammaw was out of town and asked us to watch the house for the weekend. Every detail was spot on as far as the theme is concerned. Right down to the alarm clocks, hand written notes to help you use the old house without breaking it. This was really a very special experience and I really did not expect it to be. I would only suggest that a fire pit of some sort would be the icing on the cake on a starry night.
