Mar 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in #### Sister Birthday Celebration Our stay was great only flaws that I can complain about the gate gave of trouble continuosly #5 & #8 didnt wrk well and since the code needed both we got stuck at the gate numerous times and the dryer didnt work which made keeping clean towels for 4 women very difficult for a 4 night stay. Also the other properties were listed in the description so we werent aware of the opportunity for multiple parties to stay at the same time. Overall great place & great host will definitely stay again ##### Apree A.
