Just what my wife and I needed. Wish we had the time to stay longer. Only observation was the wifi was at times weak and intermittent.

. Hot tub was great however the lift arm needs some repair. I'll definitely recommend to friends and family.

The long drive up a single lane with large pot holes was not enjoyable.
