The property was perfect. They have spent a lot of thought on little details, such as Kleenex in every room, bathroom amenities, blankets for the cold, etc. It was very clean. They even had bowls for the dog! It was January, so we did not utilize the pool, but we did the hot tub which was perfect. It was a pleasure staying here and would again.
