Needs some fix up
Overall, this could be a great place. After I read a past review had trouble with the hot tub, I checked this right at check in...sure enough...cold and not cleaned. The display on it was flashing on and off. I called the management company as they had requested I do at check in and the person taking my call said she's have to have someone call me back. No one ever did. As I continued looking at it, the side wood panel was off the surround of the hot tub, the electrical panel inside had been opened, and the electrical panel on the side of the house that went to the hot tub was open as well. So it obviously had been down awhile and no one let me know this wouldn't be available. Once we settled in that night, we found that the air hockey table didn't produce air, the water heater down there had a panel off and laying on the floor, neither ice maker in either fridge worked, and there was an unfinished ceiling patch in the second building. The place otherwise is well represented by the pictures they have. The cleaning team does do a good job.

Chill Bachelorette Party
We booked this property for a chill bachelorette party. We wanted plenty of space to spread out, play games and be comfortable. The property was clean, well taken care of and comfortable! The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and utensils for us to use when cooking up meals. We will definitely be staying here again! And would definitely recommend it as the place to stay for a large group!

Enjoyable location
Overall this was a great location for a short stay, and spending quality time with family. A few amenities were lacking. Discovered upon arrival that Wi-Fi would be unavailable which prevented smart tvs from working. The air hockey paddles are slightly damaged and there are no bean bags for the cornhole set. Those minor items aside, we enjoyed the location, exploring around the lake, and utilizing the fire pit. The customer service staff were very nice during checkin and checkout.
