PRIVATE SPA
This is an open-air spa, not an enclosed hot tub. Heating is available Apr 1–Oct 31 for an additional $400 + tax per week.

Our stay was wonderful, the location perfect, the facilities were beautiful, well laid out, and the host very accomodating. The few problem that arose,(a running toilet, a non functioning washing machine, and a broken hose timer), were taken care of promptly. The maintainence crew were friendly, polite, and efficient. The only dissapointment was that the fireplace was non-functioning, and that we were not notified that itdidn't work. We will definetly stay there again!

Plenty of space

The house was nice. The photos made the house look nicer. The outdoor area by the pool wasn’t clean. My bathroom smelled like urine. The furniture in the common areas was dirty and worn. The messages throughout the house were a great touch. We enjoyed them.
