The property was large, had multiple rooms with adjoining bathrooms, amazing heated pool, pool towels provided, great fire pit and small game room for the kids. Beds are firms (I prefer softer but they were all clean and freshly made).

Million dollar house on main river w/ million dollar view! Pool, Dock, Kayaks.
The location was great and the view was beautiful. The house needs some TLC and the cleaning crew needs to do a better job. The house has great space for 6 people. Lots of seating. Dishes and cooking equipment old.
