Learning to live in the mountains again, never leave anything food wise on the counter tops, unless you like the taste of ants. The backyard is a little scary for older folks, no rails on the stair welds, the cabin needs some real attention to the yard, the driveway is very tight for a wide vehicle. My partner cleans vacation rentals here in the desert, so he did a good job on the cabin before we left washed all the laundry, dusted the wood floors cleaned the kitchen and bathroom. He's a neat freak, the dogs did love the backyard and chasing the gray squirrels out of their yard. And the nice thing is the cabin is only a 5-minute drive to the heart of town. As a retired Chef the one disappointing thing to find out about our trip, no one knows how to do food costing as dining out there is expensive, and fast foods are as much or more than restaurants, but we did find where the locals go, and the food was better, and cheaper. Use your smart phone as we did, and it was right on the money for finding places. Jay the manager was an immense help when we got there. I might suggest a better bedroom arrangement, a futon sofa that makes into a bed would be far better, and make more room in the living area, move the love seat over under the window by the door. And next time we will bring our inflatable queen size bed.
I will say it is peaceful there, so quiet I could sleep, no sirens, or yamagouchy motorbikes going by at a thousand miles an hour. Birds and butterflies and rest!
