The only real issue we had was the a/c. The upstairs was uncomfortable unless we turned the air lower downstairs. But then it would automatically go up to 75 degrees which made it pretty warm upstairs especially in the middle bedroom that has no vents. The beds were very comfortable and we had a great time ##### Karen M. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kay H.
