Had an issue with the hot tub being nasty during the stay. The owner communicated very well and sent someone over. They drained it and refilled it but did not remove or replace nasty green filter or add clorine so it was already starting to smell again the next day. The beds in the cabin are also very worn out and have large visible dips in them and not comfortable at all.

The property was nice and clean, but my brother in law had to fix the shower head and we had to defrost the ice machine. The spiral staircase is interesting, definitely hard to navigate with luggage. It was a convenient location, just the hiccups listed above.
