Weekend getaway with friends. Enough space for parking two vehicles plus a trailer. Was a great bonus having a bedroom & bathroom at either end of house for each couple. Amazing views with fantastic deck to sit on and enjoy. Good comfortable space. Lovely elevated quiet part of town. Enjoyed our stay
