It had so many helpful kitchen stuff, the only downside was only one plastic plate for kids. The views were excellent, place was clean. The only suggestion we have to offer is, there wasn’t enough lighting by hot tub or by the front of the house, it can get pretty dark on the road.

This property was absolutely amazing!! The location and amenities were plentiful. The only thing I did not realize going in was no central air, however the evenings got cold enough to cool the house down.

Overall the house was nice. The listing was advertised as a gym and fitness room but there was neither. Very disappointed for that. Finally got the tv to work on the 4th day The DVD did not work.

Sorry about your troubles. No one else has had those . I sent my housekeeper over to help with the tv. Also I did not advertise a workout room.

Great property with 360 degree views, clean and comfortable beds and bathroom. We did use the hot tub which was all set up to go. Just an excellent property for a larger group. Exceeded expectations.

This house was perfect for a girls weekend getaway! The place was clean, the beds very comfortable, and the kitchen was nicely stocked. Hot tub was great! A couple of notes for the host, the front door lock was really difficult to open and the wifi does not reliably reach the whole house so the living room smart TV did not really work. Would absolutely stay again!
