We loved this piece of paradise in Sassafras. From the excellent instructions to the lovely location, everything was exactly as described.The fire was set and all ready to go and the kitchen had an abundance of equipment, including a coffee machine.It is whisper quiet and the perfect spot to relax. Highly recommended.
