We had a very easy time accessing the property, and it was as described and offered space for our extended family of 12 people to hang out and enjoy the weekend. I think some might have enjoyed having a TV in the main level living area at times, but it wasn't a major issue. FYI, the bathroom sink in the basement bathroom was rather clogged; it would not drain. Communication with staff was excellent overall, and they even sent out staff to check on the hot tub that was not seeming to heat up properly. I think the two levels of living to allow for family to spread out but also enough space to all be together worked out well. Had we visited in the warmer months, no doubt we might have enjoyed the outside space and location in the neighborhood more.
