It has everything you need for a stay. If you're looking for new and shiny, this is not the property. If you don't mind an older property, this worked well. Primarily used is as a place to sleep in between rounds of golf. Beds were comfortable, 2nd bath is a bit rustic but worked just fine. Rick was very responsive. ##### Len M.
