The house was very clean and the neighborhood is very quiet. We enjoyed our stay. The lighting makes it difficult to read, or work on a craft in the living room because it is very dim. The wifi wasn’t that fast because it is satellite internet but for such a remote area, we felt lucky to have wifi. There is no TV or stereo in the house which is indicated in the listing. If you would like some kind of background noise, I would recommend bringing a speaker to connect to your electronic device.
