Summary: The rental was nicely decorated; however, it could’ve been cleaner as the couch had some sticky drips of drinks. The couch was mismatched for the space available was large enough to actually sleep an adult if needed. The rental could sleep 3. The hot tub was so relaxing, although we did have to ask them to come clean it before we could use it. We were within walking distance of the Homstead, which was the highlight and reason for our trip in the first place. It was not a bad stay.
