Not a good experience
The fold out bed was terrible - unable to sleep because of worthless mattress. The beds in the loft had no head room for an adult. We lost electricity in the night, so had no water or lights in the morning. It was not a good experience for us.
Trailer with fake log siding, supposedly rustic. Exposed wiring, not level, poorly outfitted. Uncomfortable bedding, dirty, too cramped to move. WAY overpriced. This from a 40 year Alaskan. If you want rustic, save your money and bring a tent.
