Dirty water in the hot tub

Place was as advertised other than hot tub- one of the things I love to have on vacation. Water was murky from day one and a little use made it very unappealing. What would it take to have well-shocked, sparkling water to start the vacation, and/or some shock on-hand for mid-stay if it is getting heavy use? Some problem in our last Railey rental

The place was great but a bit far to walk to the lake or into town. Everything else great.

Great house!

This house was perfect for a family; we really appreciated how easy the rental process was, and that the house was well stocked with kid-friendly dishes, games, etc... Location was nice, close to National park and Oakland. The king mattress in the upstairs suite could use an update, as it felt a bit like we were rolling to the middle of the bed. Wonderful house overall!!

Gorgeous house

This was a beautiful home away from home. The bedrooms get very warm when the heat is turned on. That is our only small complaint.
