The place could use a little bit of renovating but it was clean and worked for our family of seven (5 adults, 2 kids, and a dog). The location was perfect being inside the park. I would warn that the driveway is steep. Both of our cars would scraped at the end of the driveway. Overall we had a great time and would stay here again.

This was a great house for 6 adults; unfortunately, we had a group of 9 adults. The problem was that the listing said 3 bedrooms and a loft with 2 double futons. That is what we thought we were getting. We missed the other explanation that said 3 bedrooms, a loft with a pull out couch and an air mattress. There were no futons. The pull out couch was extremely uncomfortable and the only place we could put the air mattress was by the pool table in the den, not ideal. The two couples that had those "beds" did not have restful sleep. There is also a need to replace worn out electrical outlets. Many outlets were not functional. Those are the negatives, the positives are great location, nice hot tub, good quality sheets & towels, easy check out duties, clean, well equipped kitchen, privacy, great ambiance. I would definitely book this again if there were less in our group.
