"Place was great, hot tub was nice and perfect. The surroundings were beautiful and made for a relaxing time. The only complaint would be that there was no ice in the ice machine and difficult getting delivered food due to the gate. I completely understand not giving the delivery driver's the gate code, I wouldn't either. But you have to either drive your car up to the gate or try and pass it over the gate."
