Kitchen was well equipped. The outdoor area was great with views of lake and mountains. BBQ was a challenge as it never got up to temperature, in the end we seared the steaks in the kitchen, be mindful of that if you plan to BBQ. The HRV system was very loud in the master bedroom, we turned it off to get to sleep. 8 of us had a great reunion there. ##### Aidan B.
