8/10 Good

"Leslie was great to work with and she kept us informed about the process. The location was perfect for us; however, the BBQ and Hot Tub were not in great condition. We turned on the BBQ and the grill was so rusty we had to stop cleaning it and use foil to cook our dinner on the first night. We turned on the Hot Tub before anyone got in and it immediately turned white with suds. We only went in the first night because our bathing suits smelled so bad. Other than that, the deck was great and the house had enough beds to accommodate our group."
