My family really enjoyed their time at this home. There is plenty of things to explore and the hot tub was fantastic. Checking in the code didn’t work for the door and it took a long time to get ahold of someone to help. Two breakers were also tripped. I had to fix a wire on the thermostat to get it to work. Once through the initial issues we had a fantastic time. The fireplaces were fun to use and kept the house very warm. Overall a good experience.
Property was great. Our favorite part of the stay was being on the back porch with an amazing view. The house was great inside as well. An update of the property pictures and the amenities should be looked at since I specifically was looking to have a hot tub for my stay and had that as a filter and this location didn’t have that. I was also looking forward to the cold plunge tub and that wasn’t working either. WiFi went out and I was unable to fix because I couldn’t locate that router. Location is great if you aren’t looking to be right next to the lake which we weren’t but it is a reasonable drive to and from.
