We ended up buying a fan from the hardware store to make the bedroom more comfortable at night.

No mice. We went swimming at the Bridal Falls picnic area, about 9 miles away on Highway 50. Highly recommend the swimming area.

Inside you'll find a cozy living room with a small wood-burning stove, a bedroom with two single beds, a kitchen with an electric stove/oven and refrigerator, and one full bathroom with a shower/tub and flush toilet.
