Perfection!
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
The house was very clean, nicely air conditioned, with a full kitchen and two very nice bedrooms. The backyard was very nice to enjoy the pool and hot tub. The location is also conveniently close to grocery stores if you need to stock up.

Legs place has everything. Kept us very entertained at night after hikes during the day. Would come back in a heartbeat!
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
Everything was just what we expected. The pool was unheated and smaller than it looks in pictures, and the 10 pm quiet rule made it difficult to combine hot tub and star gazing, but we were very impressed.
