The house worked very well for our family of 8. It was decorated very nicely and stocked with kitchenware we needed. We fell in love with the round table that seated 8 (and had a neat turntable), and we had many nice family meals around it. The area is a bit isolated from things to do, so we had to drive a ways away to do most things, but I think that is normal for that area. Some things we did were finding a church in the area to worship on Sunday, taking a day trip to Nashville (about 2 hours away but well worth the drive), touring Fort Donaldson that was closer by, renting a pontoon and spent a day on the lake, and checking out the town of Paris.
