    Our third visit. Das Bunkhouse remains our favorite place. Unfortunate the trails were not cleared it seemed for hiking/treking. They have such beautiful property to explore....We miss Mother Oak. Minor bout with an ant infestation, but we bought traps and delt with it. Checked all our luggage at home and were were clear. As usual, kitchen and bathroom area, sleep area are great and very well set up. Water, wood, paper, toilet paper provided. Lanters provided (bring your own AA batteries) Some dishes need washing from previous guests, but overall clean. We didn't get to use the outdoor showers this year, (so much rain anyway) but they have been greatly renovated and look beautiful, nice shower heads, cedar wood. I wish we could have tried them. We got to chat with our host Mark about heirloom chickens, new goats in the family, and previous farm critters my daughter remember over the years. Rain did not wash away our spirits here! Thank you, again. Pamela and Sydney and Willow and Ernie
