Came up with all family and it literally was the PERFECT place for a get a way! Clean, spacious, and well thought out. The beds were so comfortable, and plenty of bathrooms for everyone - that makes a difference when everyone is trying to get ready for the day. Great gathering spaces - the kitchen area is huge - we loved it. Doug was super responsive to any questions we had. The hot tub was a fun bonus, and having a washer/dryer is always nice. Our family is mostly adults now, but there's an awesome bunk room that would be so perfect if you have kids! Honestly I can't say enough positive about this place - it's just as beautiful as the pictures show! ##### Ange N.
