We enjoyed the hot tub, very nice! The kitchen was well stocked with variety of utensils. If I could make one request the bottom bunk bed could use a better mattress. We had an adult who could not go up and down the stairs use it and it was not very comfortable. All the other beds were wonderful. We really enjoyed our stay in your home and look forward to coming back in the fall. Oh and your son, he is a very nice young man!!Dawn
