Clean and very spacious with a great pool. Only downside is the centralized air is set so if you’re naturally hot in any of the bedrooms, a fan or colder air is needed. However, overall everyone and my dog enjoyed this escape. ##### Pamela E.

Two bedrooms and two full bathrooms on the first floor and two bedrooms on the second floor which is an attic style with sloped ceiling. Nether bathroom is connected to a master bedroom. The pool is not heated and even in the summer was too cold to use.
