The property is beautiful. It provided adequate space for my guests. It wasn't well cleaned. I had dust bunnies and particles under my bed. The dishwasher did not work rven after a repair man came out. The washing machine was rusted. We spent a lot of $ to stay there and should have had perfection. My guests had other minor complaints, but overall it did not negatively impact our purpose for being there. We had a ball. Loved the mater suite with shower. Hopefully, necessary improvements will be made. .
