Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Joshua H. 21 Apr 2025 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Yucky Hot Tub It was disgusting. The hot tub looked as if it had not been cleaned in months. We contacted the property manager to inquire about getting it cleaned. The next day, they responded and had someone there to clean it. Whoever did the cleaning did a terrible job. We got in and things started floating around that looked like algae. We got out and did not get back in. Very disappointing as the hot tub was our main attraction to this home. ##### Joshua H.
