False advertising. The pool was dirty, frogs and bugs . Not heated. The gazebo had boards lose, my 8 yr old kept tripping on the broken steps, their was no trampoline , the way get to the pool house from the driveway makes it difficult to get your luggage through. The air conditioning didn’t work . The owner tried to fix it but it still was so hot we could not sleep. It stopped working again. Their was so hot water for shower . We would not recommend this as a place to stay . ##### Carolyn D. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Carolyn D. 22 Nov 2021 Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Not accurate in discription.
