It was as pictured. The garden tub was dirty and gross. The houses around us were abandoned. It was quiet. We were there in winter, snow accumulated over 8 inches 2 days. No problem, we r yoopers, but NO street plowing, no actual shovel. We had our own shovel and capable vehicles. Love the surrounding towns, lots to do. No heat upstairs, but plenty of blankets. Oven was smokey and dirty, but worked. Great hot water and heater downstairs, just needs to overflow up. We also live in old house, we had vents to get heat up, and electric fireplace...just a suggestion. Beds on the floor everywhere. No foundations, low ceilings..good for young kids or teens. Overall...Meh.
