The ONLY real problem was the weather honestly, which we can't control haha. The house itself was very cozy and the hot tub was comfy even in the cold. My favorite feature was that Roku did an auto logout on the last day.

My husband and I stayed here a week for New Year's with our dog and it was absolutely perfect! The fenced yard was so nice for our dog and the hot tub was wonderful! The state patk is so close and we hiked everyday. One of the best stocked places we have ever stayed at! Comfy beds and couches and excellent communication from start to finish. Highly recommend!
