The creek and the way the house is sited on the property is marvelous. We simply did not want to leave the deck - listening to the creek took all our cares and stresses away. Once you climb the few stairs from the parking area, there are no indoor steps so great for those with some physical limitations. The open living:dining:kitchen area has more lovely views of the creek and woods. The shower is a bath combo so it’s a fairly high step-over, and no grab bar. We did not use the hot tub nor grill. Yes, there are spiders & other flying and crawling critters - you are in nature, not a sealed box. And when the hickory nuts drop, you may have a cartoon moment or two. The only reason we won’t return is due to the “driveway” - getting to/ from the paved road is very steep gravel, and there is very little stopping space to check for traffic; we don’t have a 4wheel drive vehicle nor the confidence to do this again.
