We renting this house for a nutural location for our family Christmas. (family drove in from Denver, Arizona, and Texas) Everything was great! The kitchen was stocked with most everything you would need for cooking for a large group, (needs a pasta spoon!) I packed based on previous reviews, however, there were plenty of pots/pans and baking dishes. I really didn't need to bring any of those things. The furniture was difficult to find a comfortable place to hang out. We played a lot of games with the family and as long was you don't mind using the dining room table for seating, you are fine. The main living room furniture was not comfortable, looks nice but not great for large families to hang out and lay around. Lots of beds and room for everyone to have their own private space. We saw lots of deer and birds. We didn't get any snow while we were there but the back porch looks over a small hill that all the adults and kids enjoyed sledding down from previous snow storms. We left the sleds there for the next family to enjoy! They do sell them at Lowes in town if you need more. Groceries were easy to find but there is only ONE store in town, small and also has gas. They did sell out of things fast while we were there and we went back every day to ensure we got what we needed for the planned meals for the group. It's only a 5 min drive into town but if you want something "special" it might be easier to just bring it with you. Common items were easy to get, cheese, meats, milk, bread, chips, etc.
