Had everything we needed and more. The kids absolutely loved it and it was very close to the mountain. Hot tub and barrel sauna were a great addition especially when you got in at around 9 am there would be deer roaming in the woods behind you. Super cool peaceful house with one of a kind amenities. ##### Michael P.
