    We had 8 guys get together for 3 days of golf. We were playing multiple rounds each day and a hot tub to soak in each evening was aa must have for our rental. I requested the hottub be heated each evening. I got confirmation that it would be. The first night we got to the house we got into our suits just to find a cold hottub. Owner said it broke the night before our arrival but i was not given any notice at all. Ended up with a house with no hottub. The bunkhouse also had a terrible smell if we ran the A/C. Luckily the nights were cool enough to sleep with the windows open

    We spent the Holidays at the Still Waters Ranch and really enjoyed our time in the country setting that was very peaceful and quiet. Our bunch was able to spread out comfortably in the various accommodations. The kiddos especially enjoyed the game room and pool / hot tub! The outdoor pavilion was great for our group (we wished we had brought a wagon to haul meal supplies back and forth from the bungalow). The hosts were very friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. Would definitely recommend staying here!
