Horrible smell
Pros:

Close to town and my friends house

Cons:

it smelled really bad. I'm not sure what the smell was, not cigarette or pot smoke, and not animal smells. But it was definitely very pungent. Everything else was actually pretty great. But that smell was really offensive and definitely I wouldn't be back just because of it.
