Cute cabin and clean. Awesome hot tub. One of the nicer hot tubs. Liked how they stocked the house with essentials if needed. Nice area. Only 2 complaints is the air conditioner. We all had to leave our doors open to get air but was not efficient enough. We woke each other up when we got up to go to bathroom . Did not sleep well thru week due to mugginess and hot. No air flow. Also first bedroom's bed , my oldest slept here was noisy and uncomfortable. My youngest was supposed to sleep with him but he chose to sleep on couch instead.
