There was plenty of room for 3 people, comfortable living room and dining area, and the kitchen had everything we needed for a home cooked meal. Best of all, this place didn’t require us to do tons of housekeeping prior to check out which we truly appreciated. We are planning to stay here again next trip out! ##### Young-Eun P.

Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### matt t. 8 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Mislead The residence is decent. It's clean but needs maintenance. The location is a little out of the way which wouldnt be an issue if the amenities where reasonably available. We booked a sbowboarding trip and specifically looked for a place with a hot tub. Upon booking, i read the review and staryed to wonder if the hot tub was available. I contacted management ti inquire whether the hot would be available. I was assured that it would be. What I was not told is there will be a fee to use the amenities. Now I was prepared to pay something because I read the reviews. But $20 per day per per day is not an available amenity. It is very misleading and i will bevreporting it to the company. This is very dissapointing. ##### matt t.

Lots of blankets and towels. My only suggestion is letting folks know that it will cost you $16/person to use the hot tub, pool, and gym facilities. Loved our stay and would definitely stay again. ##### Elliott T.

This unit promised a hot tub, but turns out it was at the local community center and I needed passes which were never provided. I called the first night to say we needed the passes. While they were friendly on the phone, the passes were never delivered for my whole stay. ##### brian m. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2022 ---
