We enjoyed our stay. The home was clean and had all the cooking supplies you could need. It even has a crock pot! The beds weren’t super comfy but they sufficed for our 2 night stay. The bathrooms and showers were clean and hot. There is a washer and dryer. The hot tub was the disappointing part, as it wasn’t exactly clean for our stay. There was a little goody basket on the counter with some candy and s’mores stuff, so that kind of made up for the hot tub not being usable. Thank you for the hospitality's!
