    Overall the place was wonderful. The main deck is a little small for how many people could stay at the place. One of the things we liked about this place is the club house on the property, however, it was not open while we were there and that should have been stated on the website and on the door. The hours showed it should have been open but it was always locked. We wanted play the games, the pool, the sauna, but couldn't so that was very disappointing. The house itself was good. The chairs weren't the most comfortable. One downstairs was broken when we went down there to play cards a few days into our stay. The main clock was also broken. Overall would consider staying there again if we could verify that the clubhouse was open.

    We came up for a cousins sons wedding. We were bummed it rained on Saturday as that was the only day we could have wandered around. The cabin was glorious! That top floor was amazing and the hot tub was soothing. We have stayed in some other rentals but this one had the most well equipped furnishings! Loved it!
