Summary: It was a great time staying at this house.It slept 2 families of 4, and we had plenty of space.The views from the top floor were amazing and my favorite thing about this house.Layout is a bit odd but very accommodating.Hot tub is very nice as well but does not go over 99 degrees. Charcoal grill is only available on site, but it works just fine. Our only concern was, that the place was not cleaned well.Floors were very dirty, and couches had animal hair all over them. The first night both of our 2 and 4 year old's got bitten by fleas.We had to spend entire day cleaning the house and find remedies for fleas.
